| Summary: | Mouse and computer can not be separated. Conventional mouse operation
typically must be holded and touched. Certain cases, computer users who have
limitations, is unable to operate a conventional mouse. A software should be
developed to replace the conventional mouse so that users can use computer
properly. The software will detect the objects movement on user's body visually
and then the result is used as a basis to move mouse pointer
The software was developed using a template matching method. Template
matching process requires the flow of images, so need a webcam to get it.
Template matching method is used to locate an object in the picture that has the
greatest similarity with the object reference that inserted before (template).
Searching process for object location performed by calculating correlation
between template with the objects in the picture. The template coordinates are
determined based on the highest correlation value. By coordinates changing in
sequence image, can be determined magnitude and direction of object movement.
Magnitude and direction of object movement obtained is used as a base to move
the mouse pointer.
The test results indicate that the software developed is able to move the
mouse pointer as the user desires. The software is also able to perform the
equivalent click command, double click and right click. The test results also
showed that the bigger size of search area causing the mouse pointer movement
more slowly.
