Abstract
Disclosed embodiments provide cognitive state evaluation for vehicle navigation. The cognitive state evaluation is accomplished using a computer, where the computer can perform learning using a neural network such as a deep neural network (DNN) or a convolutional neural network (CNN). Images including facial data are obtained of a first occupant of a first vehicle. The images are analyzed to determine cognitive state data. Layers and weights are learned for the deep neural network. Images of a second occupant of a second vehicle are collected and analyzed to determine additional cognitive state data. The additional cognitive state data is analyzed, and the second vehicle is manipulated. A second imaging device is used to collect images of a person outside the second vehicle to determine cognitive state data. The second vehicle can be manipulated based on the cognitive state data of the person outside the vehicle.
