Sleep Deprivation Detection for Real-Time Driver Monitoring using Deep Learning

International audienceWe propose a non-invasive method to detect sleep deprivation by evaluating a short video sequence of a subject. Computer Vision techniques are used to crop the face from every frame and classify it (within a Deep Learning framework) into two classes: " rested " or " sleep deprived ". The system has been trained on a database of subjects recorded under severe sleep deprivation conditions. A prototype has been implemented in a low-cost Android device proving its viability for real-time driver monitoring applications. Tests on real world data have been carried out and show encouraging performances but also reveal the need of larger datasets for training
