Drive Safe, Stay Safe : Drowsiness Detector
The problem Drowsiness Detection with Realtime Alert Sender solves
This is a Python-based project that uses OpenCV and dlib libraries to detect the drowsiness of a driver in real-time. It can detect if the driver's eyes are closed for a certain amount of time, which could indicate that the driver is drowsy and may fall asleep while driving. Drowsy driving is a major cause of road accidents, especially for long-distance drivers. To address this issue, we have developed a device that can detect a driver's sleepy eyes and send an alert to the driver while also slowing down the vehicle. The device is a combination of hardware and software components, which work together to detect the driver's drowsiness and take appropriate actions to prevent accidents.
Challenges I ran into
Due to the change in syntax of Tensorflow starting from the 2.5+ release of it, I ran into syntax based errors in creating classes. But later after reading the documentation of the release, was able to solve the same.
