Drowsy Driver Identification Using MATLAB Video Processing

Abstract

Drivers who do not take regular breaks when driving long distances run a high risk of becoming drowsy and cause accidents. It is astate which they often fail to recognize early enough according to the experts. Studies show that around one quarter of all serious motorway accidents is attributable to sleepy drivers in need of a rest, meaning that drowsiness causes more road accidents than drink-driving. Driver fatigue is a significant factor in a large number of vehicle accidents. The development of technologies for detecting drowsiness at the wheel is a major challenge in the field of accident avoidance systems. Because of the hazard that drowsiness presents on the road, methods need to be developed for counteracting its affects. The main aim of this is to develop a drowsiness detection system by monitoring the eyes and mouth; it is believed that the symptoms of driver fatigue can be detected early enough to avoid a car accident. Detection of fatigue involves the observation of eye movements, blink patterns and mouth opening for yawning. The analysis of face images is a popular research area with applications such as face recognition, and human identification security systems. This project is focused on the localization of the eyes, which involves looking at the entire image of the eye, and determining the position of the eyes, by a self-developed image-processing algorithm.
