Abstract
Systems and techniques are provided for detecting drowsiness of a driver in a vehicle. In aspects, a driver is monitored by capturing an image sequence of an interior of the vehicle via a camera system. The image sequence is then analyzed to extract a characteristic pattern of the driver. An activity level of the driver is determined based on at least one of the image sequence or an output signal provided by another sensor of the vehicle. At least one of the extracted characteristic pattern and the activity level of the driver is selected as a basis for determining a drowsiness signal indicative of the drowsiness of the driver.
