Human eye closeness detection has gained wide applications in human computer interface designation, facial expression recognition, driver fatigue detection, and so on. In this work, we present an extensive comparison on several state of art appearance-based eye closeness detection methods, with emphasize on the role played by each crucial component, including geometric normalization, feature extraction, and classification. Three conclusions are highlighted through our experimental results: 1) fusing multiple cues significantly improves the performance of the detection system; 2) the AdaBoost classifier with difference of intensity of pixels is a good candidate scheme in practice due to its high efficiency and good performance; 3) eye alignment is important and influences the detection accuracy greatly. These provide useful lessons for the future investigations on this interesting topic.
