Analysis of driver drowsiness detection using EEG and EOG

Abstract

This paper propose here a resolutely oriented approach to the study of the driver in order to detect the driver drowsiness starting from physiological information (related to the brain activity) and video (related to the ocular activity). The goal of this work is to develop a system for automatic detection of driver drowsiness in the driver from electroencephalographic (EEG) (describing brain activity) and video of the driver. This approach is motivated by the fact that driver drowsiness physicians mainly work from brain and visual data to detect driver drowsiness. In addition, the complementarity of brain and ocular activities seems to indicate that the contribution of cerebral information would improve the reliability of the camera-based approaches (thus using only the visual cues) used for the automatic detection of the decline of vigilance.
