A New Benchmark Collection for Driver Fatigue Research
Authors: Małecki, K., Forczmański, P., Nowosielski, A., Smoliński, A., Ozga, D. Published in: Progress in Computer Recognition Systems, Springer, 2020, pp. 295-304
The article presents an original benchmark database for testing methods and algorithms for driver fatigue detection, including blinking, squinting, rubbing eyes, yawning, and head movements. The data was acquired using thermal, depth map, and visible light cameras under conditions mimicking a driver’s work environment.
Supporting Driver Physical State Estimation by Means of Thermal Image Processing
Authors: Forczmański, P., Smoliński, A. Published in: Computational Science — ICCS 2021, Springer, 2021, pp. 149-163
This paper addresses the problem of estimating a driver’s physical state by analyzing facial portraits captured in the thermal spectrum. The algorithm involves detection, tracking, and classification of facial regions and features, demonstrating its effectiveness even in adverse lighting conditions.
Multispectral Data Acquisition in the Assessment of Driver’s Fatigue
Authors: Małecki, K., Nowosielski, A., Forczmański, P. Published in: Smart Solutions in Today’s Transport, Springer, 2017, pp. 320-332
Many factors contribute to road accidents, with driver behavior and fatigue being the most significant. This paper presents characteristics of selected multispectral data (visual image, depth map, thermal image) used for automatic assessment of driver fatigue. A simulator station, mimicking a driver’s cabin and equipped with various video sensors and monitors showing real driving situations, was developed for data acquisition.
Authors: Forczmański, P., Smoliński, A. Published in: Image Processing and Communications, Springer, 2020, pp. 22-29
This paper discusses the analysis of facial areas captured in thermal spectrum to estimate the drowsiness of observed persons. The state of eyes is considered crucial, and a Gabor filtering-based approach is applied to classify the eyes’ state. This approach allows for capturing eye states in adverse lighting conditions, showing promising results in simulated cabin environments.
Pedestrian Detection in Severe Lighting Conditions: Comparative Study of Human Performance vs Thermal-Imaging-Based Automatic System
Authors: Nowosielski, A., Małecki, K., Forczmański, P., Smoliński, A. Published in: Progress in Computer Recognition Systems, Springer, 2020, pp. 174-183
This paper discusses the problem of detecting human bodies in severe lighting conditions from the driver’s perspective. It presents the results of a study on threat situation recognition, defined as the sudden appearance of a pedestrian in the driver’s field of view. The efficiency of human reaction and delay time are contrasted with an automatic detection system based on thermal imagery.
