Driver Drowsiness Detection using Percentage Eye Closure Method

One of the main things for accidents is drowsiness or fatigue in driver. Preventing the drowsiness prevents accidents and it employs road safety. They are many types of analysis are done regarding the drowsiness which are seen in driver such as yawing, eye closure and head movement. In this paper, the proposed system focuses on eye closure by the effective method named PERcentage eye CLOSure (PERCLOS). The PERCLOS establishes a parameter level to detect the drowsiness. The detection is carried out by Viola-Jones detector, which segments the driver face and image of the eye from the detector.
