MUMBAI, India, Sept. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421023201 A) filed by G. H. Raisoni College Of Engineering; and G. H. R. Labs And Research Centre, Nagpur, Maharashtra, on March 24, 2024, for 'a drowsiness detection system.'
Inventor(s) include Mohare, Avinash; Modi, Palak; Deshmukh, Srushti Virendra; and Bhagat, Dhananjay.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 26, under issue no. 39/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a drowsiness detection system. Utilizing a camera to capture images, faces are detected using a Haar cascade model, and subsequently analyzed by a customized Inception V3 model with tailored output layers for identifying closed and open eyes. An attention scoring mechanism monitors the presence of detected faces, triggering an alarm when attention levels drop below a predefined threshold. Notably, the modified Inception V3 model retains pre-trained layers as non-trainable, focusing solely on custom output layers for drowsiness detection. Achieving a remarkable test accuracy of 89.92%, our system demonstrates effectiveness in real-world scenarios, promising enhanced road safety by mitigating accidents caused by drowsy driving. Through this innovative approach, we aim to significantly reduce road accidents, making driving safer for all motorists."
