Driver Drowsiness Detection by Identification of Yawning and Eye Closure

Authors

Abstract:

Today most accidents are caused by drivers’ fatigue, drowsiness and losing attention on the road ahead. In this paper, a system is introduced, using RGB-D cameras to automatically identify drowsiness and give warning. In this system two important modules have been utilized simultaneously to identify the state of driver’s mouth and eyes for detecting drowsiness. At first, using the depth information, the mouth area and its state are identified. Then using CNN networks, to predict whether the eyes are open or closed, a semi-VGG architecture is used .The results of yawning and eyes states detection are integrated to decide whether an alarm should be issued. The results show an accuracy of about 90% which is encouraging.

Estimation of Eye Closure Degree Using EEG Sensors and Its Application in Driver Drowsiness Detection

Currently, driver drowsiness detectors using video based technology is being widely studied. Eyelid closure degree (ECD) is the main measure of the video-based methods, however, drawbacks such as brightness limitations and practical hurdles such as distraction of the drivers limits its success. This study presents a way to compute the ECD using EEG sensors instead of video-based methods. The pr...

A Review on Driver Drowsiness Detection Techniques

Number of accidents during driving is increasing day by day and drowsy driving has been implicated as a causal factor in many accidents. Goal of driver drowsiness detection systems is to reduce these accidents. It has been seen that most of the accidents occur due to driver’s fatigue and a small due to inattention factor, therefore this paper reviews driver’s fatigue monitoring techniques in de...

Driver Drowsiness Detection System Using Image Processing

Drivers who do not take regular breaks when driving long distances run a high risk of becoming drowsy a state which they often fail to recognize early enough according to the experts. Studies show that around one quarter of all serious motorway accidents are attributable to sleepy drivers in need of a rest, meaning that drowsiness causes more road accidents than drink-driving. Attention assist ...
