A Computer Vision Approach for Automated Driver Assistance System

In this paper, an approach which address the problem of Road Accidents has been addressed. Considering today’s situation, preventing fatalities during road accidents is the need of the hour. The aim is to address the problem, how could a devise and electronic system that could prevent road accidents in order to save peoples life. According to recent surveys, major accidents are caused only due to negligence and frequently leads to accidents in highways and freeways during lane switching. Thus, this devised system has the ability to detect driver’s drowsiness using facial landmarking and tracks proper in-lane driving using Hough transform. Both these factors are to be monitored all through-out the journey and notifies the driver if any drowsiness or improper lane driving is detected. Hence, the proposed system is a feasible and viable solution to devise a novel, retro-fittable & affordable driver assistance system.
