Abstract

Statistics have shown that \(20\%\) of all road accidents are fatigue-related, and drowsy detection is a car safety algorithm that can alert a snoozing driver in hopes of preventing an accident. This paper proposes a deep architecture referred to as deep drowsiness detection (DDD) network for learning effective features and detecting drowsiness given a RGB input video of a driver. The DDD network consists of three deep networks for attaining global robustness to background and environmental variations and learning local facial movements and head gestures important for reliable detection. The outputs of the three networks are integrated and fed to a softmax classifier for drowsiness detection. Experimental results show that DDD achieves \(73.06\%\) detection accuracy on NTHU-drowsy driver detection benchmark dataset.
