This paper presents the optimization of a virtual mouse called HeadMouse in
order to foster its classroom use by children with physical disabilities.
HeadMouse is an absolute virtual mouse that converts head movements in
cursor displacement and facial gestures in click actions. The virtual mouse
combines different image processing algorithms: face detection, pattern
matching and optical flow in order to emulate the behaviour of a conventional
computer mouse. The original implementation of HeadMouse requires large
computational power and this paper proposes specific optimizations in order to
enable its use by children with disabilities in standard low cost classroom
computers
