道路安全仍是全球重大挑战,每年约135万死于交通事故,多由人为失误导致。随着车辆自动化水平提升,驾驶员在SAE Level-2/3场景下可能因分心或单调驾驶产生认知过载或困倦。为此,本文提出新型多任务驾驶监控系统VDMoE,利用RGB视频非侵入式监测驾驶员状态。通过关键面部特征降低计算开销,并结合远距离光电容积脉搏波(rPPG)获取生理信息,提升检测精度同时保持高效性。优化混合专家(MoE)框架以支持多模态输入,引入包含先验信息的正则化方法,加速模型收敛并减少过拟合风险。构建新数据集MCDD(42名参与者),涵盖RGB视频与生理指标,并在两个公开数据集上验证性能。结果表明VDMoE在驾驶状态监测中表现优异,有助于提升自动驾驶系统安全性。代码与数据将开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Road safety remains a critical challenge worldwide, with approximately 1.35 million fatalities annually attributed to traffic accidents, often due to human errors. As we advance towards higher levels of vehicle automation, challenges still exist, as driving with automation can cognitively over-demand drivers if they engage in non-driving-related tasks (NDRTs), or lead to drowsiness if driving was the sole task. This calls for the urgent need for an effective Driver Monitoring System (DMS) that can evaluate cognitive load and drowsiness in SAE Level-2/3 autonomous driving contexts. In this study, we propose a novel multi-task DMS, termed VDMoE, which leverages RGB video input to monitor driver states non-invasively. By utilizing key facial features to minimize computational load and integrating remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) for physiological insights, our approach enhances detection accuracy while maintaining efficiency. Additionally, we optimize the Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) framework to accommodate multi-modal inputs and improve performance across different tasks. A novel prior-inclusive regularization method is introduced to align model outputs with statistical priors, thus accelerating convergence and mitigating overfitting risks. We validate our method with the creation of a new dataset (MCDD), which comprises RGB video and physiological indicators from 42 participants, and two public datasets. Our findings demonstrate the effectiveness of VDMoE in monitoring driver states, contributing to safer autonomous driving systems. The code and data will be released.
