Visual Behaviors • Visual behaviors that typically reflect a • person's level of fatigue include • Eyelid movement • Head movement • Gaze • Facial expressions
Real time plot eyelid and eye gaze parameters over time. AECS represents the average eye closure and opening speed; PERCLOS is the percentage of eye closure; PERSAC is the percentage of saccade eye movements over time.
Real time plot of face pose parameters (pan, tilt, and swing) and facial expression parameter (mouth) over time. Face pose tracking is to characterize head activity such as nodding and mouth movement is used to detect mouth movement such as yawning.
The Dynamic Bayesian Network fatigue model for modeling and detecting fatigue. It combines different visual fatigue parameters with contextual information (if available) to produce a composite fatigue score.
An overview of the fatigue monitor prototype. The prototype system: upper left corner shows the image from the eye camera;upper right corner shows the image of face camera; bottom shows the real time plot of the fatigue curve over time.
