Driver Drowsiness Detector using Python and OpenCV

Applications

This code can detect your eyes and alert when the user is drowsy with an alarm and screen alert.

Requirements for the project

1)The code is in Python 3.9.1([version 2.7]or higher will work).
2)shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat file(must be included in the same directory as that of the .py file) 

Dependencies

1) import cv2
2) import imutils
3) import dlib
4) import scipy
5) from playsound import playsound

Description

This could be used by riders who tend to drive for a longer period of time that may lead to accidents. The code can be integrated in a real-time video stream in the car/vehicle. When drowsy, an alarm sound and a screen alert would play to awaken the driver.

Condition

The code checks 20 consecutive frames and if the Eye Aspect ratio is less than 0.25, Alert is generated.

Execution

1)To run the code from cmd, type "python Drowsiness_Detection.py" after including the necessary .dat file and alarm music.
2)The code can run on any python IDE like Visual Studio Code.
