We describe an automated power control of video appliance such as a television by detecting eye position in face images. The power control system consists of five stages: ⅰ) acquisition of a viewer’s posture from input image, ⅱ) detection of posture information such as an eye position, ⅲ) calculation of a horizontal level by using the posture information, ⅳ) comparing the calculated horizontal level with a reference threshold and an alert-sound output, and ⅴ) output of a power-off signal to the video appliance. Accordingly, upright posture of viewers watching the video appliance can be ensured since a viewer’s posture is detected and power of the video appliance is automatically controlled according to the detected posture.
