Abstract

This paper presents two different learning methods applied to the task of driver activity monitoring. The goal of the methods is to detect periods of driver activity that are not safe, such as talking on a cellular telephone, eating, or adjusting the dashboard radio system. The system presented here uses a side-mounted camera looking at a driver's profile and utilizes the silhouette appearance obtained from skin-color segmentation for detecting the activities. The unsupervised method uses agglomerative clustering to succinctly represent driver activities throughout a sequence, while the supervised learning method uses a Bayesian eigen-image classifier to distinguish between activities. The results of the two learning methods applied to driving sequences on three different subjects are presented and extensively discussed.
