Abstract

A non-intrusive fatigue detection method based on fast facial feature analysis is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the facial landmarks are obtained by the supervised descent method, which automatically tracks the faces and fits the facial appearance very fast and accurately. It covers facial landmarks over a wide range of human head rotations. Then the aspect ratios of eyes and mouth are computed with the coordinates of the detected facial feature points. We interpolate and smooth those aspect ratios by a forgetting factor to deal with the occasionally missing detection of facial features. Thirdly, the degrees of eye closure and mouth opening are evaluated with two Gaussian based membership functions. Finally, the driver fatigue state is inferred by several IF-Then logical relationships by evaluating the duration of eye closure and mouth opening. Experiments are conducted on 41 videos to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
