Blinking Beyond EAR: A Stable Eyelid Angle Metric for Driver Drowsiness Detection and Data Augmentation
- 基于3D面部关键点定义稳定的眼睑角度度量ELA
- ELA在视角变化下方差低于EAR,且可精准捕捉眨眼时序特征
- 利用ELA生成可控的合成数据,解决真实瞌睡数据稀缺问题
可靠检测驾驶员困倦对提升道路安全和辅助驾驶系统至关重要。本文提出一种基于3D面部关键点的新颖、可复现的眼睑开合度量——眼睑角度(ELA),相比传统的二值化眼态估计或2D度量(如眼宽比EAR),ELA能提供更稳定的几何描述,对相机视角变化具有鲁棒性。基于ELA,设计了提取闭合、闭合状态及重新开启持续时间等时序特征的眨眼检测框架,这些特征被证实与困倦程度相关。为解决自然困倦数据稀缺及采集风险问题,进一步利用ELA信号在Blender 3D中驱动绑定角色,生成具备可控噪声、视角和眨眼动态的真实感合成数据集。在公开驾驶监控数据集上的实验表明,ELA在视角变化下方差显著低于EAR,且实现高精度眨眼检测;同时,合成增强有效扩充了困倦识别的训练数据多样性。研究结果表明,ELA不仅是可靠的生物特征度量,也是驱动可扩展数据集生成的强大工具。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Detecting driver drowsiness reliably is crucial for enhancing road safety and supporting advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). We introduce the Eyelid Angle (ELA), a novel, reproducible metric of eye openness derived from 3D facial landmarks. Unlike conventional binary eye state estimators or 2D measures, such as the Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR), the ELA provides a stable geometric description of eyelid motion that is robust to variations in camera angle. Using the ELA, we design a blink detection framework that extracts temporal characteristics, including the closing, closed, and reopening durations, which are shown to correlate with drowsiness levels. To address the scarcity and risk of collecting natural drowsiness data, we further leverage ELA signals to animate rigged avatars in Blender 3D, enabling the creation of realistic synthetic datasets with controllable noise, camera viewpoints, and blink dynamics. Experimental results in public driver monitoring datasets demonstrate that the ELA offers lower variance under viewpoint changes compared to EAR and achieves accurate blink detection. At the same time, synthetic augmentation expands the diversity of training data for drowsiness recognition. Our findings highlight the ELA as both a reliable biometric measure and a powerful tool for generating scalable datasets in driver state monitoring.
