Abstract

En 中文
The primary aim of this research is to identify driver drowsiness to prevent car accidents and improve road safety. This study explores and proposes potential solutions to mitigate drowsiness-related accidents and enhance overall road security by monitoring the indicators such as driver's eye, mouth, and head movements. An algorithm has been developed to track these movements. This work includes analyzing CNN and computer vision models for eye detection, yawn detection, and head movement. The CNN models are trained by using MRL and YawDD datasets for eye and mouth tracking. In the computer vision approach, Dlib and MediaPipe library functions are used for tracking facial landmarks. In this approach also, three features namely, head & eye movements, and yawns are considered for drowsiness detection. Highest accuracy of 84.53% and 96.42% is obtained using CNN approach for MRL Eye and YawDD Dataset, respectively. Performance of the computer vision-based approach is better as compared to CNN method.
