Drowsiness-Detection-System

Motivation:

Car accidents are a big problem in the world and one of the many reason of car accident is driver being in drowsy state. According to an article from sleepfoundation.org, researchers estimated that around 21% of fatal car crashes involves a person driving in drowsy.

Intuition

To prevent such accident, I wanted to build a system that detects driver's face and check if he is in drowsy state or active state. To achieve these functionalities, I used Python and OpenCV for this project.

Installation:

• First of all, clone this repository on your pc.

  git clone https://github.com/IRFANSARI/Drowsiness-Detection-System.git
  cd Drowsiness-Detection-System-Python-Flask
  

• To install all the dependencies which will be required, double click on install_dependencies.bat file or write this command on cmd and wait for it to finish.

  start install_dependencies.bat
  

Running the program

• Now all the installation process is done. Just run the python file drowsiness_detection_system.py by writing the below command on the cmd.

  python app.py
