Real-Time Driver State Monitoring Using a CNN Based Spatio-Temporal Approach


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Many road accidents occur due to distracted drivers. Today, driver monitoring is essential even for the latest autonomous vehicles to alert distracted drivers in order to take over control of the vehicle in case of emergency. In this paper, a spatio-temporal approach is applied to classify drivers distraction level and movement decisions using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We approach this problem as action recognition to benefit from temporal information in addition to spatial information. Our approach relies on features extracted from sparsely selected frames of an action using a pre-trained BN-Inception network. Experiments show that our approach outperforms the state-of-the art results on the Distracted Driver Dataset (96.31%), with an accuracy of 99.10% for 10-class classification while providing real-time performance. We also analyzed the impact of fusion using RGB and optical flow modalities with a very recent data level fusion strategy. The results on the Distracted Driver and Brain4Cars datasets show that fusion of these modalities further increases the accuracy.
