An Overview and Evaluation of Various Face and Eyes Detection Algorithms for Driver Fatigue Monitoring Systems

摘要

In this work various methods and algorithms for face and eyes detection areexamined in order to decide which of them are applicable for use in a driverfatigue monitoring system. In the case of face detection the standardViola-Jones face detector has shown best results, while the method of findingthe eye centers by means of gradients has proven to be most appropriate in thecase of eyes detection. The later method has also a potential for retrievingbehavioral parameters needed for estimation of the level of driver fatigue.This possibility will be examined in future work.
