Abstract

The objective of the paper is to propose a new driver fatigue detection method using Percentage of Mouth Openness (POM) and Percentage of Eye Closure (PERCLOS) as well as to show its robustness across various real-world conditions. The openness of the eyes and mouth was determined by calculating Aspect Ratios (AR) and checking if AR exceeded a given threshold. Six videos simulated different driving scenarios were recorded to test detection performance under diverse lighting, with and without corrective glasses, moreover with additional complexities such as blinking lights. Furthermore, the method ensures avoidance of misclassification during such driver’s activities as conversing and eating. The method effectively detects fatigue in all test scenarios in which the fatigue state occurred.
