Abstract

This paper presents a video-based method for detecting drowsiness. Generally, human beings can perceive their fatigue and drowsiness through looking at faces. The ability to perceive the fatigue and the drowsiness has been studied in many ways. The drowsiness detection method based on facial videos has been proposed [Nakamura et al. 2014]. In their method, a set of the facial features calculated with the Computer Vision techniques and the k-nearest neighbor algorithm are applied to classify drowsiness degree. However, the facial features that are ineffective against reproducing the perception of human beings with the machine learning method are not removed. This factor can decrease the detection accuracy.
