ABSTRACT

For the driver at the long-term driving or at the poor mental state, the emotion based driving fatigue recognition algorithm is proposed, and we use the algorithm to effectively prevent the continuous driving of the driver in the state of fatigue, so as to avoid the accident. We sample the facial images of the driver and establish their feature space, and compare them with the fatigue training samples, achieve in real time the driving category attributes of the driver. According to the driving category attributes, we judge whether the driver is in the state of fatigue so as to appropriately intervene in the behavior of the driver.
