A Multi-Feature Fusion Algorithm for Fatigue Driving Detection Considering Individual Driver Differences by Meng Zhou, Xiaoyi Zhou, Zhijian Li, Xinyue Liu, Chengming Chen

“…To improve the judging accuracy of the driver’s facial expressions, a personalized threshold is proposed based on the normalization of the driver’s eyes and mouth opening and closing instead of the traditional average threshold, as individual drivers have different eye and mouth sizes. Given the dynamic changes in fatigue level, a sliding window model is designed for further calculating blinking duration ratio (BF), yawning frequency (YF), and nodding frequency (NF), and these evaluation indexes are used in the feature fusion model. …”
