Presenting a model for dynamic facial expression changes in detecting drivers' drowsiness.
Journal Title: Electronic Physician - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Drowsiness while driving is a major cause of accidents. A driver fatigue detection system that is designed to sound an alarm, when appropriate, can prevent many accidents that sometime leads to the loss of life and property. In this paper, we classify drowsiness detection sensors and their strong and weak points. A compound model is proposed that uses image processing techniques to study the dynamic changes of the face to recognize drowsiness during driving.
