Abstract

The lack of concentration due to the driver fatigue is a major cause that justifies the high number of accidents. This article describes a new approach to detect reduced alertness automatically from a system based on video analysis, to prevent the driver and also to reduce the number of accidents. Our approach is based on the temporal analysis of the state of opening and closing the eyes. Unlike many other works, our approach is based only on the analysis of geometric features captured form faces video sequence and does not need any elements linked to the human being.
