A Fatigue Driving Detection Method based on Deep Learning and Image Processing

Abstract

Driving fatigue is one of the important causes of traffic accidents. It is of great significance to study fatigue driving detection algorithms to improve human life and property safety. This paper proposes a fatigue driving detection method based on deep learning and image processing. First, the driver's face image is obtained in real time through the camera and the face image is detected using the MTCNN model. Next the image processing is performed on the face image, including three steps: grayscale processing, binarization processing, and human eye detection. Then we check the legitimacy of the human eye image and calculate the eye closure rate, and finally use the PERCLOS principle to analyze the fatigue state of the driver. The experimental results show that the proposed method has high detection rate and low false alarm rate, and has strong practicality.
