Abstract: As the number of long-distance commuters continues to rise, driver fatigue has become a major contributor to traffic accidents, underscoring the critical need for real-time fatigue detection and prevention. Facial expressions serve as crucial indicators that directly reflect the driver's fatigue state, which may vary due to individual differences. This paper presents a comprehensive visual monitoring approach for real-time driver fatigue detection. The proposed method uses a vehicle-mounted camera to extract the driver's facial features through an empirical multi-feature fusion model. By determining appropriate thresholds based on individual driving habits and conditions, the algorithm maps multi-dimensional facial behaviors to corresponding Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) scores and fatigue levels, accurately identifying four states: awake, mild fatigue, moderate fatigue, and severe fatigue. Evaluated on a dataset of 2,555 validated samples obtained from real-world driving conditions, the method demonstrated an impressive average accuracy of 98.35% during both training and experimentation. Furthermore, a comparative analysis against state-of-the-art fatigue detection algorithms on a self- curated dataset revealed that the proposed approach achieved the highest average accuracy of 98.9%, with lower computational requirements and a lighter weight. The mean average precision (mAP) was 1.6% higher than the lightweight Efficient Det-D2, while also having fewer model parameters and reduced computational complexity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
