Abstract
The ever-increasing number of traffic accidents due to a diminished driver's vigilance level has become a problem of serious concern to society. With the ever growing traffic conditions, this problem will further deteriorate. For this issue, development of system which can actively monitors driver vigilance level and alert the driver for any insecure driving condition is essential. So this paper gives detailed information about driver vigilance level monitoring system. The ultimate goal of the system is to detect and alert the driver from insecure sleepy or low concentration driving condition. The system consists of two main modules including drivers face and eye detection module and drivers face tracking module. Viola Jones face detection with AdaBoost (Adaptive- Boosting) method and Circular Hough Transform technique are integrated in the drivers face and eye detection module. In the drivers face tracking module, CAMSHIFT (Continuously Adaptive Mean Shift) algorithm has been used for continuous face tracking of driver. The main components of the system consist of a video camera, a specially designed hardware system based on Raspberry Pi for real-time image processing and controlling the alarm system. In the proposed system, only one video camera is used in practice yet an achievement of fast and accurate detection results are obtained.
