Blink Rate Monitoring for a Driver Awareness System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a working prototype computer vision system for measuring the blink rate of car drivers. It combines an intelligent face recognition system with feature tracking, and statistical image analysis methods to locate and track the head position of a driver in a car, and extract specific measurements from the eyes. This is done using standard hardware (a Sun IPC workstation and frame grabber) without the use of image processing or other specialised hardware. The information obtained is used to give an indication of driver alertness which forms one of the inputs to a complete driver monitoring system.

A Review on Driver Face Monitoring Systems for Fatigue and Distraction Detection
Every year, many car accidents due to driver fatigue and distraction occur around the world and cause many casualties and injuries. Driver face monitoring systems is one of the main approaches for driver fatigue or distraction detection and accident prevention. Driver face monitoring systems capture the images from driver face and extract the symptoms of fatigue and distraction from eyes, mouth...
متن کاملDrowsy Detection On Eye Blink Duration Using Algorithm
this paper presents an automatic drowsy driver monitoring and accident prevention system that is based on monitoring the changes in the eye blink duration. Our proposed method detects the drowsiness in eyes using the proposed mean sift algorithm. Our new method detects eye blinks via a standard webcam in real-time YUY2_640x480 resolution. Experimental results in the eyeblink database showed tha...
متن کاملEmbedded Real Time Blink Detection System for Driver Fatigue Monitoring
Fatigue induced vehicle accidents have seen an increase in the last few decades. Fatigue monitoring using noninvasive and real time image processing and computer vision techniques have shown great promise and are an active research area. To that extent, in the proposed work a blink detection algorithm is proposed that serves as a visual cue that may be correlated to the state of fatigue of the ...
متن کاملA Fast, Robust, Automatic Blink Detector
Introduction “Blink” is defined as closing and opening of the eyes in a small duration of time. In this study, we aimed to introduce a fast, robust, vision-based approach for blink detection. Materials and Methods This approach consists of two steps. In the first step, the subject’s face is localized every second and with the first blink, the system detects the eye’s location and creates an ope...
متن کاملEmbedded ECG Based Real Time Monitoring and Control of Driver Drowsiness Condition
In recent years preventing accidents under drowsiness state has become a major focus for active safety driving. To reduce the accidents rate, it is needed to provide an efficient safety measure. Literature says that, the drowsiness condition of driver is best monitored by using an eye blink sensor (or) fabric electrode (or) ECG Sensor. But by monitoring the drowsiness condition alone, the accid...
