The paper presents an algorithm for detection of the eye-blinks in image sequences. The employed image processing methods include well-known solutions, such as Haar-like face detection and template matching based eye tracking, as well as newly developed algorithms for skin colour segmentation and modified active contour model with ellipse fitting for eye-blink detection. The developed algorithm was used for human fatigue monitoring and as a core of the eye-blink controlled human-computer interface.
