摘要

Fatigued driving detection, which employs pattern recognition to discover the state of a driver's fatigue, is considered a key technique to improve road safety. However, the widely used frontal face recognition systems have problems, such as low recognition accuracy, poor real-time ability, and highly complex algorithms. In this paper, a new color space modeling, which uses multi-threshold decision criteria, is used to enhance facial skin extraction performance, and a three-step strategy is designed to eliminate noise and other adverse effects. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can extract side face contour lines effectively and provide a scientific basis for real-time tracking of fatigue.
