Fatigue is the main factor to cause traffic accidents. Based on survey of existed fatigue detection methods, a new method for extracting characteristics of Human face based on Gabor translation is proposed in this paper, and based on which, by combing with the frequent patterns mining, a new fatigue detection method for vehicle drivers based on the Human face image sequences is proposed. Simulation results show that the newly proposed algorithm has better fatigue detection performance for identification of vehicle drivers than the existed method based on single face image.sequential-pattern can be generated by joining s 1 with s 2 , i.e., by extending the sequence s 1 with the last item in s 2 . Since the added item (i.e., the last item in s 2 ) will be a separate element in s 1 if it is a separate element in s 2 , or a part of the last element of s 1 otherwise, then, it is necessary to add the item in s 2 both as a part of an itemset and a separate element in s 1 when joining L k-1 with L k-1 .Step2(Prune Phase): Deleting all these candidate k-fatigue-sequential-patterns that have a contiguous (k-1)-sequence whose support count is less than the given support threshold min_support.sequences into fatigue models. But in our method, seldom will the pseudo-fatigue sequences be classified into fatigue models. Thus, the error detection rate of our method will be very low.
ConclusionA new method for fatigue detection based on Gabor translation and human facial image sequence is proposed in this paper, in which, the Gabor translation is used to extract the feature sequences of the human facial image sequences first, and then, the frequent patterns mining algorithm is used to mine the patterns of fatigue facial image sequences, finally, during the recognition stage, the classification algorithm will be used for fatigue detection of the Human face image sequences. Simulation results show that the newly proposed algorithm has good fatigue detection performance.
