Abstract

This study presents a novel driver drowsiness detection system that combines deep learning techniques with the OpenCV framework. The system utilises facial landmarks extracted from the driver's face as input to Convolutional Neural Networks trained to recognise drowsiness patterns. The integration of OpenCV enables real-time video processing, making the system suitable for practical implementation. Extensive experiments on a diverse dataset demonstrate high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in detecting drowsiness. The proposed system has the potential to enhance road safety by providing timely alerts to prevent accidents caused by driver fatigue. This research contributes to advancing real-time driver monitoring systems and has implications for automotive safety and intelligent transportation systems. The successful application of deep learning techniques in this context opens up new avenues for future research in driver monitoring and vehicle safety.
