RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Gaze fixation system for the evaluation of driver distractions induced by IVIS A1 Jiménez Molina, Pedro A1 Bergasa Pascual, Luis Miguel A1 Nuevo Chiquero, Jesús A1 Hernández Parra, Noelia A1 García Daza, Iván K1 Distraction monitoring K1 Driver K1 Inattention K1 Gaze fixation K1 PRC K1 IVIS K1 Naturalistic simulator K1 Electrónica K1 Electronics AB We present a method to monitor driver distraction based on a stereo camera to estimate the face pose and gaze of a driver in real time. A coarse eye direction is composed of face pose estimation to obtain the gaze and driver's fixation area in the scene, which is a parameter that gives much information about the distraction pattern of the driver. The system does not require any subject-specific calibration; it is robust to fast and wide head rotations and works under low-lighting conditions. The system provides some consistent statistics, which help psychologists to assess the driver distraction patterns under influence of different in-vehicle information systems (IVISs). These statistics are objective, as the drivers are not required to report their own distraction states. The proposed gaze fixation system has been tested on a set of challenging driving experiments directed by a team of psychologists in a naturalistic driving simulator. This simulator mimics conditions present in real driving, including weather changes, maneuvering, and distractions due to IVISs. Professional drivers participated in the tests.
