Mouse Cursor Position Control - using our face!!

I enjoyed writing a program in C using the OpenCV library wherein I have used certain image segmentation techniques to control the position of the mouse cursor by moving one's head. I have used the Window's Speech Recognition capability to scroll, click or double click.
It works like a touch-less touch screen!

Enjoy the video!

The Great Indian Two-Wheeler

I cut through anything that comes in my way as through butter a knife...

Be it highways, lanes, footpaths, BRTS, streams, mountains, or glacial ice, I am an all terrain bike

Fear me as do trucks, buses, bulldozers or tanks that kiss my feet,

I cruise top notch through streets,

Competing with the breeze,

I am all weather proof too, be it hot, humid or the bitter freeze!


You will find the ubiquitous me making a beeline along the curb,

I leave no space void; I fill even the potholes kicking dirt,

Though I am made for two I have the capacity to carry ten,

While the specially shock proofed back seat is reserved by guys for their girlfriends


I sell like hotcakes,

And come in different sizes and make,

On my fuel efficiency claim, I don’t fake!

While not too heavy on the pocket, pollution safety levels I usually break,

But as always nobody denies me a PUC, RTO registration or any other certificate,


I guarantee to take you places on time every time, provided you wear your helmet each time without sighing!
