Abstract :
To realize driving support systems friendly to drivers, it is important to detect the driver states (consciousness degradation, inattention etc.). This paper describes the development of a technique to detect the gaze direction of a driver during driving by the time-varying image processing. In this method, the facial direction and the gaze direction can be detected separately. The verification experiments proved that the developed method is applicable for the detection of inattention.
