Abstract
The change of lighting conditions and facial pose often affects the driver's face's video registration greatly, which affects the recognition accuracy of the driver's fatigue state. In this paper, the authors first analyze the reasons for the failure of the driver's face registration in the light conditions and the changes of facial gestures, and propose an adaptive AAM (Active Appearance Model) algorithm of adaptive illumination and attitude change. Then, the SURF (speeded up robust feature) feature extraction is performed on the registered driver's face video images, and finally the authors input the extracted SURF feature into the designed artificial neural network to realize the recognition of driver's fatigue state. The experimental results show that the improved AAM method can better adapt to the driver's face under the illumination and attitude changes, and the driver's facial image's SURF feature is more obvious. The average correct recognition rate of the driver's fatigue states is 92.43%.
