Driver Drowsiness Detection System
Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject SummaryDrowsiness detection is a safety technology that can prevent accidents that are caused by drivers who fell asleep while driving.
Project ObjectivesThe objective of this Python project is to build a drowsiness detection system that will detect that a person’s eyes are closed for a few seconds. This system will alert the driver when drowsiness is detected, and also detect the yawn of driver and alert.
Project Implementation MethodStep 1 – Take image as input from a camera.
Step 2 – Detect the face in the image and create a Region of Interest (ROI).
Step 3 – Detect the eyes and yawn from ROI and feed it to the classifier.
Step 4 – Classifier will categorize whether eyes are open or closed and also detect yawn.
Step 5 – Calculate score to check whether the person is drowsy or not.
Benefits of the ProjectA countless number of people drive on the highway day and night. Taxi drivers, bus drivers, truck drivers and people traveling long-distance suffer from lack of sleep. Due to which it becomes very dangerous to drive when feeling sleepy. So, to prevent these accidents we will build a system using Python, OpenCV, and Keras which will alert the driver when he feels sleepy.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableWe are going to use raspberry pi 4 with a webcame and small lcd inside a car or other vehicle, that will focus the driver's view and alert to the driver when he/she feels sleepy.
