Drowsiness Detection and Warning System Using Python

Abstract

Nowadays, road accidents have become one of the major issues. The major road accidents are caused due to drowsiness, drunken, and rash driving. This is the reason, every year the number of road accidents is increasing especially by cars. Due to drowsiness, drivers become less active while driving. This paper represents to build a system for Drowsiness Detection and Warning for automobile safety and accident prevention. We are using eye detection, drowsiness detection, and eye blinking pattern detection with the help of machine vision-based concepts. In order to detect fatigue or drowsiness, web-camera has been used which points directly towards the driver’s face and detects the eye movement of the driver.
