Requirement of driver vigilance system Review of previous study General system architecture Experimental result Conclusion

REQUIREMENT
In europe,statistics show that 10% to 20% accidents are caused due to driver with less vigilence level. It is caused by fatigue,distraction. It involves single vehicle and sober driver travelling alone. As assistant system for comforts,navigation increase inside car,distraction from more basic task-driving is observed.

PREVIOUS STUDY
MIT SMART CAR ASV(ADVANCE SAFETY VEHICLE)BY TOYOTA TCD(TECH CO DRIVER)SPANISH SYSTEM ALL ABOVE MENTION SYSTEMS ARE INTRUTIVE-AS THEY REQUIRE ELECTRODES TO BE ATTACHED TO THE DRIVER CAUSING ANNOYANCE. DAIMLER CHARYSLER SYSTEM BASED ON VEHICLE SPEED,STEARING ANGLE,VEHICLE POSITION RELATIVE TO ROAD DIMENSION.

MEASURE OF REDUCED ALERTNESS

Longer blink duration Slow eyelid movement Smaller degree of eye opening Frequent nodding Yawning Gaze(narrowness in line of signal) Sluggish facial expression Computer vision can be natural and non intrutive for extracting visual characteristics.

WHAT SHOULD WE LEARN FROM PRIVIOUS STUDY?

There must be multiple clue to indicate drivers alertness. System should be non intruitive System should work satisfactorily at night also.(at low light condition) Use infrared led ring Focus more on pupil detection and tracking.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
MAJOR MODULES: Image acqusition Pupil detection Visual behaviour Driver inattentiveness indicator software

IMAGE ACQUISITION
IR leds are used to brighten the users face IT produce bright pupil effect LEDS are mounted around camera axis. Ring size is choosen such that inner ring produce bright pupil effect while outer ring produce dark pupil effect. Get difference bet. two image and get pupil.

PUPIL DETECTION AND TRACKING

PUPIL DETECTION AND TRACKING

Difference dark pupil and bright pupil image So bright blob in image can be detected by an adaptive threshold. Tracking of pupil is done by two kalman filters. Kalman filter fail when sudden head movement. It can be overcame by adaptive window.

PUPIL DETECTION AND TRACKING

VISUAL BEHAVIOUR
EYELID MOVEMENT EYE CLOSURE DURATION BLINK FREQUENCY FIXED GAZE EYE CLOSER/OPENING SPEED PERCLOS(PERCENTAGE CLOSERE) FACE POSE DEGREE OF EYE OPENING IS CHARACTERIZED BY PUPIL SHAPE AS EYES CLOSE,THE PUPILS START GETTING OCCLUDED BY EYELID THIRE SHAPE GET MORE ELLIPTICAL.

DRIVER VEGILENCE COMPUTATION

WE CAN USE SOFTWARE WE DECIDE DIL(DRIVER INATTENTIVENESS LEVEL) BY CONSIDERING ALL ABOVE MENTION POINTS SUCH THET
IF PERCLOS IS SMALL AND EYE CLOSURE DURATION IS SMALL AND FACE POSITION IS MEDIUM AND NODDING FREQUENCY IS SMALL AND BLINK FREQUENCY IS MEDIUM AND FIXED GAZE IS SMALL, THEN DIL IS SMALL. IF PERCLOS IS MEDIUM LARGE AND EYE CLOSURE DURATION IS MEDIUM AND BLINK FREQUENCY IS MEDIUM AND FIXED GAZE IS LARGE, THEN DIL IS LARGE.

FINAL SYSTEM BLOCK DIAGRAM

CONCLUSION
WE DEVELOPED NONINTRUITIVE SYSTEM FOR DRIVER VIGILENCE. WE FOCUS ON SIX PARAMETERS PERCLOS,EYE
CLOSURE DURATION, BLINK FREQUENCY, NODDING FREQUENCY, FACE POSITION, AND FIXED GAZE. SYSTEM WORKS SATISFACTORILY AT MIDNIGHT AND DURING LESS LIGHT. IT PERFORMANCE IS DECREASE DURING DAY TIME AND PERSON WITH SUNGLASSES.

Assignment

[Weightage 10%]

Task 1: last date for Task-1 submission: on or before 05-10-2013 [batch wise] Design a driver vigilance system. Write the specification of the system. Develop a system level model in C language as it is a universal language. Task 2: [will be announced later] Estimate the performance of the code on PowerPC.(Do profiling) Estimate which part of the design should be migrated to HW on the FPGA. Interface the migrated design to bus. Write the driver/software. Document the result. Input : set of images of the driver
