eye blinking detection with MSP430

Jacky Lee(Younggeun, MARCOM)

One of students is asking if it's possible to build eye blinking detection system with MSP430.

It looks like it needs video sensor or camera to detect if one's eye is closed.

can I get any reference to recommend which sensor and system he needs?

Thank you very much

    The MSp surely isn't capable of analyzing video images in realtime (too slow) or doing video image pattern recognition (not enough ram). (calculating average brightness on a cameras incoming bitstream could be done)

    However, what about an infra-red reflection sensor that senses the reflective light from the eye? This could be easily doable (and is much cheaper). Of yourse eye-tracking is out of the question then. But the device could be small and light enough to be clipped onto glasses. :)
