Abstract

There is a challenge to employ video-based input in mobile applications for access control, games and entertainment computing. However, by virtue of computational complexity, most of algorithms have a low performance and high CPU usage. This paper presents the experimental results of testing the reduced spiral search with the sparse angular sampling and adaptive search radius. We demonstrated that a reliable tracking could be provided in a wide range of lighting conditions with the relative brightness of only 16 pixels composing the grid-like template (the grid step of 10-15 pixels). Cross-correlation matching of the template was implemented in eight directions with a shift of one pixel and adaptive search radius. The algorithm was thoroughly tested and after that used in a text entry application. The mean typing speed achieved with the head tracker and on-screen keyboard was of about 6.2 wpm without prediction after 2 hours practice.
