Abstract

Driver drowsiness is a major cause of road accidents. In this study, a novel approach that detects human drowsiness is proposed and investigated. First, driver face and facial landmarks are detected to extract facial region from each frame in a video. Then, a residual-based deep 3D convolution neural network (CNN) that learned from an irrelevant dataset is constructed to classify driver facial image sequences with a certain number of frames for obtaining its drowsiness output probability value. After that, a certain number of output probability values is concatenated to obtain the state probability vector of a video. Finally, a recurrent neural network is adopted to classify constructed probability vector and obtain the recognition result of driver drowsiness. The proposed method is tested and investigated using a public drowsy driver dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that similar to 2D CNN, 3D CNN can learn spatiotemporal features from irrelevant dataset to improve its performance obviously in driver drowsiness classification. Furthermore, the proposed method performs stably and robustly, and it can achieve an average accuracy of 88.6%. Keywords Driver drowsiness detection . 3D convolution neural network .

compromising the security and safety of drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. In recent years, with the development of artificial intelligence technology, autonomous driving technology has progressed rapidly. However, road vehicles still need drivers. Furthermore, with conditional autonomous driving systems, driver should still be ready to take over if these systems do not operate correctly [1]. Therefore, research on effective methods for detecting driver drowsiness is important to improve transport safety. Detection methods can be divided into three categories according to basis: driver physiological parameters, operational behavior, and physical conditions [2]. Physiological signals change evidently when drivers feel drowsy. In recent years, many physiological signal detection methods for recognizing driver drowsiness have been studied [3]. Physiological signal tests include electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram, electrooculogram, and electromyogram [4]. Physiology-based meth
