Inventors include Bhalshankar Sahebrao Tanaji; Amogh Amit Thorve; Anahita Mandar Herlekar; Akshata Anna Analdas; Ananya Harish Chordiya; and Vanita Babanne.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer vision-based real-time driver fatigue detection and monitoring system for improving road safety through continuous assessment of driver alertness. The system uses Three-Dimensional Eyelid Angle (ELA) analysis, adaptive threshold calibration, blink analysis, microsleep detection, and head pose estimation to identify driver fatigue. These features are integrated through a multi-modal fatigue fusion framework to generate a continuous fatigue score and classify the driver into Safe, Warning, or Dangerous categories. Explainable Artificial Intelligence using Grad-CAM provides transparent fatigue predictions. The system operates in real time using standard camera hardware and lightweight edge computing.
