Driver fatigue detection algorithm based on eye features

Abstract

This paper proposes a method of driver fatigue detection based on eye features - utilizing frame-difference projection to localize right and left boundaries of the face, then horizontal gray projection curve to localize approximate horizontal position of the eyes, and third, template matching to get the accurate eye position of the initial frame. After reliable localization of it, use dynamic template matching to track the eye position of next frames. Finally, detect eye state through similarity, which provides a basis for further fatigue detection.
