Drive monitoring system based on non-contact measurement system of driver´s focus of visual attention

In order to realize a driver support system based on the measurement of a driver, it is necessary to adopt non-contact measurement system. In this paper, we present a non-contact measurement system of a driver which acquires facial information in real-time. Recognition of the objects at which the driver is looking and generation of fixation map are possible using the developed system. The feasibility of the system was verified through measurement experiments of a driver at curve run and lane change.
