A sleepy driver is arguably much more dangerous on the road than the one who is speeding as he is a victim of microsleeps. Automotive researchers and manufacturers are trying to curb this problem with several technological solutions that will avert such a crisis. This article focuses on the detection of such micro sleep and drowsiness using neural network based methodologies. Our previous work in this field involved using machine learning with multi-layer perceptron to detect the same. In this paper, accuracy was increased by utilizing facial landmarks which are detected by the camera and that is passed to a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to classify drowsiness. The achievement with this work is the capability to provide a lightweight alternative to heavier classification models with more than 88% for the category without glasses, more than 85% for the category night without glasses. On average, more than 83% of accuracy was achieved in all categories. Moreover, as for model size, complexity and storage, there is a marked reduction in the new proposed model in comparison to the benchmark model where the maximum size is 75 KB. The proposed CNN based model can be used to build a real-time driver drowsiness detection system for embedded systems and Android devices with high accuracy and ease of use.

Modern advanced driver-assistance systems analyze the driving performance to gather information about the driver's state. Such systems are able, for example, to detect signs of drowsiness by evaluating the steering or lane keeping behavior and to alert the driver when the drowsiness state reaches a critical level. However, these kinds of systems have no access to direct cues about the driver's state. Hence, the aim of this work is to extend the driver drowsiness detection in vehicles using signals of a driver monitoring camera. For this purpose, 35 features related to the driver's eye blinking…

Human drivers have distinct driving techniques, knowledge, and sentiments due to unique driving traits. Driver drowsiness has been a serious issue endangering road safety; therefore, it is essential to design an effective drowsiness detection algorithm to bypass road accidents. Miscellaneous research efforts have been approached the problem of detecting anomalous human driver behaviour to examine the frontal face of the driver and automobile dynamics via computer vision techniques. Still, the conventional methods cannot capture complicated driver behaviour features. However, with the origin of…
Many road accidents are caused by drowsiness of the driver. While there are methods to detect closed eyes, it is a non-trivial task to detect the gradual process of a driver becoming drowsy. We consider a simple real-time detection system for drowsiness merely based on the eye blinking rate derived from the eye aspect ratio. For the eye detection we use HOG and a linear SVM. If the speed of the eye blinking drops below some empirically determined threshold, the system triggers an alarm, hence preventing the driver from falling into microsleep. In this paper, we extensively evaluate the minimal…

Drowsiness driving is a major cause of traffic accidents and thus numerous previous researches have focused on driver drowsiness detection. Many drive relevant factors have been taken into consideration for fatigue detection and can lead to high precision, but there are still several serious constraints, such as most existing models are environmentally susceptible. In this paper, fatigue detection is considered as temporal action detection problem instead of image classification. The proposed detection system can be divided into four parts: (1) Localize the key patches of the detected driver p…
Datasets are crucial when training a deep neural network. When datasets are unrepresentative, trained models are prone to bias because they are unable to generalise to real world settings. This is particularly problematic for models trained in specific cultural contexts, which may not represent a wide range of races, and thus fail to generalise. This is a particular challenge for Driver drowsiness detection, where many publicly available datasets are unrepresentative as they cover only certain ethnicity groups. Traditional augmentation methods are unable to improve a model's performance when t…

In this paper, an LSTM autoencoder-based architecture is utilized for drowsiness detection with ResNet-34 as feature extractor. The problem is considered as anomaly detection for a single subject; therefore, only the normal driving representations are learned and it is expected that drowsiness representations, yielding higher reconstruction losses, are to be distinguished according to the knowledge of the network. In our study, the confidence levels of normal and anomaly clips are investigated through the methodology of label assignment such that training performance of LSTM autoencoder and in…
Driver drowsiness detection has been the subject of many researches in the past few decades and various methods have been developed to detect it. In this study, as an image-based approach with adequate accuracy, along with the expedite process, we applied YOLOv3 (You Look Only Once-version3) CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) for extracting facial features automatically. Then, LSTM (Long-Short Term Memory) neural network is employed to learn driver temporal behaviors including yawning and blinking time period as well as sequence classification. To train YOLOv3, we utilized our collected datase…
For real-world driver drowsiness detection from videos, the variation of head pose is so large that the existing methods on global face is not capable of extracting effective features, such as looking aside and lowering head. Temporal dependencies with variable length are also rarely considered by the previous approaches, e.g., yawning and speaking. In this paper, we propose a Long-term Multi-granularity Deep Framework to detect driver drowsiness in driving videos containing the frontal faces. The framework includes two key components: (1) Multi-granularity Convolutional Neural Network (MCNN),…

Driver drowsiness problem is considered as one of the most important reasons that increases road accidents number. We propose in this paper a new approach for realtime driver drowsiness in order to prevent road accidents. The system uses a smart video camera that takes drivers faces images and supervises the eye blink (open and close) state and head posture to detect the different drowsiness states. Face and eye detection are done by Viola and Jones technique.
Driving in a state of drowsiness is a major cause of road accidents, resulting in tremendous damage to life and property. Developing robust, automatic, real-time systems that can infer drowsiness states of drivers has the potential of making life-saving impact. However, developing drowsiness detection systems that work well in real-world scenarios is challenging because of the difficulties associated with collecting high-volume realistic drowsy data and modeling the complex temporal dynamics of evolving drowsy states. In this paper, we propose a data collection protocol that involves outfittin…

The proposed framework consists of four models: spatio-temporal representation learning, scene condition understanding, feature fusion, and drowsiness detection. The spatio-temporal representation learning extracts features that can describe motions and appearances in video simultaneously. The scene condition understanding classifies the scene conditions related to various conditions about the drivers and driving situations such as statuses of wea…

Drowsiness on the road is a widespread problem with fatal consequences; thus, a multitude of systems and techniques have been proposed. Among existing methods, Ghoddoosian et al. utilized temporal blinking patterns to detect early signs of drowsiness, but their algorithm was tested only on a powerful desktop computer, which is not practical to apply in a moving vehicle setting. In this paper, we propose an efficient platform to run Ghoddosian's algorithm, detail the performance tests we ran to determine this platform, and explain our threshold optimization logic. After considering the Jetson N…
Driver drowsiness increases crash risk, leading to substantial road trauma each year. Drowsiness detection methods have received considerable attention, but few studies have investigated the implementation of a detection approach on a mobile phone. Phone applications reduce the need for specialised hardware and hence, enable a cost-effective roll-out of the technology across the driving population. While it has been shown that three-dimensional (3D) operations are more suitable for spatiotemporal feature learning, current methods for drowsiness detection commonly use frame-based, multi-step ap…

In this paper, we try to analyze drowsiness which is a major factor in many traffic accidents due to the clear decline in the attention and recognition of danger drivers. The object of this work is to develop an automatic method to evaluate the drowsiness stage by analysis of EEG signals records. The absolute band power of the EEG signal was computed by taking the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of the time series signal. Finally, the algorithm developed in this work has been improved on eight samples from the Physionet sleep-EDF database.

Heart rate and blink duration are two vital physiological signals which give information about cardiac activity and consciousness. Monitoring these two signals is crucial for various applications such as driver drowsiness detection. As there are several problems posed by the conventional systems to be used for continuous, long-term monitoring, a remote blink and ECG monitoring system can be used as an alternative. For estimating the blink duration, two strategies are used. In the first approach, pictures of open and closed eyes are fed into an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to decide whether …
