Abstract

Drowsiness and fatigue of the drivers are responsible for sever accidents and large human life losses and monetary losses. This paper presents a method based on the image processing for drowsiness detection. Fast and simple algorithms are proposed for face and pupil detection. The proposed method is implemented using a cheap and commercial microcontroller. The implemented device can be calibrated easily for each driver in their first usage. The proposed method is simulated using MATLAB and after getting the satisfactory simulation results, the proposed method is implemented and experimental results are obtained. Using the proposed method, the drowsiness detection system can be used widely in larger communities.
