Description

The objectives of this research are:
• To design and build a prototype of drowsiness detection system incorporating image processing and an alarm system.
• To design a system that can adapt to changes in light, detect and process face images both during the day and at night.
• To investigate the importance of the drowsy detection device and to demonstrate its feasibility and reliability.
