Abstract
A method is described for recognizing fatigue, the method comprising an ascertaining step, a determining step, and a comparing step. In the ascertaining step a first saccade and at least one further saccade of an eye movement of a person are ascertained using a gaze direction signal that models the eye movement. In the determining step, a first data point representing a first amplitude of the first saccade and a first peak velocity of the first saccade, and at least one further data point representing a further amplitude of the further saccade and a further peak velocity of the further saccade, are determined using the gaze direction signal. In the comparing step, the first data point and at least the further data point are compared with a saccade model. The person is recognized as fatigued if the data points have a predetermined relationship to a confidence region of the saccade model.
