In previous research, an electro-oculogram(EOG) has been used to measure the drowsiness or microsleep. However, it is not suitable method for actual measurement in driving situation because of difficulty for set the probe to subject person. In this study, a real-time measurement system of eyelid and eyeball movements by using face images was developed, and some tendencies of the day-time drowsiness or microsleep during TV program watching were revealed.
