Project Title

Driver Drowsiness Detection System

Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject Summary

Drowsiness detection is a safety technology that can prevent accidents that are caused by drivers who fell asleep while driving.

Project Objectives

The 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 Method

Step 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 Project

A 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 Deliverable

We 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.
