• Abstract: One in every five vehicle accidents on the road today is caused simply due to driver fatigue. Fatigue or otherwise drowsiness, significantly reduces the concentration and vigilance of the driver thereby increasing the risk of inherent human error leading to injuries and fatalities. Hence, our primary motive being - to reduce road accidents using a non-intrusive image processing based alert system. In this regard, we have built a system that detects driver drowsiness by real time tracking and monitoring the pattern of the driver's eyes. The stand alone system consists of 3 interconnected components - a processor, a camera and an alarm. After initial facial detection, the eyes are located, extracted and continuously monitored to check whether they are open or closed on the basis of a pixel-by-pixel method. When the eyes are seen to be closed for a certain amount of time, drowsiness is said to be detected and an alarm is issued accordingly to alert the driver and hence, prevent a casualty.

  FailureNet is a recurrent neural network trained end-to-end on trajectories of both nominal and reckless drivers in a scaled miniature city. It can accurately identify control failures, upstream perception errors, and speeding drivers, distinguishing them from nominal driving. Compared to speed or frequency-based predictors, FailureNet's recurrent neural network structure provides improved predictive power, yielding upwards of 84% accuracy when deployed on hardware.

  Many factors can contribute to distractions while driving, since objects or events to physiological conditions, as drowsiness and fatigue, do not allow the driver to stay attentive. The technological progress allowed the development and application of many solutions to detect the attention in real situations. Our work presents a Systematic Literature Review of the methods and criteria used to detect attention of drivers at the wheel.

• Detection of Driver Drowsiness by Calculating the Speed of Eye Blinking [0.0]
  We consider a simple real-time detection system for drowsiness based on the eye blinking rate. If the speed of the eye blinking drops below some empirically determined threshold, the system triggers an alarm. We find that this system works well if the face is directed to the camera, but it becomes less reliable once the head is tilted significantly.

  State-of-the-art 3D object detectors, based on deep learning, have shown promising accuracy but are prone to over-fit to domain idiosyncrasies. We propose a novel learning approach that drastically reduces this gap by fine-tuning the detector on pseudo-labels in the target domain. We show, on five autonomous driving datasets, that fine-tuning the detector on these pseudo-labels substantially reduces the domain gap to new driving environments.
