An Efficient Approach of Face Detection and Prediction of Drowsiness Using SVM

This article investigates an issue of road safety and a method for detecting drowsiness in images. More fatal accidents may be averted if fatigued drivers are using this technology accurately and the proposed models provide quick response by recognising the driver’s state of falling asleep. There are the following drowsiness models for depicting the possible eye state classifications as VGG16, VGG19, RESNET50, RESNET101 and MobileNetV2. The absence of a readily available and trustworthy eye dataset is perceived acutely in the realm of eye closure detection. On extracting the deep features of faces with VGG16, 98.68% accuracy has been achieved, VGG19 provides an accuracy of 98.74%, ResNet50 works with 65.69% accuracy, ResNet101 has achieved 95.77%, and MobileNetV2 is achieving 96.00% accuracy with the proposed dataset. The put forth model using the support vector machine (SVM) has been used to evaluate several models, and the present results in terms of loss function and accuracy have been obtained. In the proposed dataset, 99.85% accuracy in detecting facial expressions has been achieved. These experimental results show that the eye closure estimation has a higher accuracy and cheap processing cost, as well as the ability of the proposed framework for drowsiness.
