Narcolepsy

Narcolepsy

Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder characterized by pervasive, uncontrolled sleepiness and other sleep disturbances. One of its hallmark symptoms is an abrupt transition to REM sleep upon falling asleep, which causes symptoms typically associated with this phase to occur unexpectedly during wakefulness. These include the following symptoms, which typically last from a minute or two to half an hour.

Area of Science:

Computer Science
Artificial Intelligence
Road Safety Engineering

Background:

Drowsy driving is a major global road safety concern, causing numerous accidents and fatalities.
Existing driver drowsiness detection (DDD) systems often suffer from intrusiveness and slow response times.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a real-time, non-intrusive driver drowsiness detection system.
To systematically assess various machine and deep learning algorithms for DDD performance.

Main Methods:

Utilized facial analysis and machine learning techniques for drowsiness detection.
Evaluated K-Nearest Neighbors (KNNs), Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), and advanced Computer Vision (CV) models (YOLOv5, YOLOv8, Faster R-CNN).
Tested algorithms on NTHUDDD, YawDD, and UTA-RLDD public datasets.

Main Results:

KNNs achieved 98.89% accuracy, 99.27% precision, and 98.86% F1 score on UTA-RLDD.
YOLOv5 and YOLOv8 demonstrated 100% precision and recall with 99.5% mAP@0.5 on UTA-RLDD.
Faster R-CNN showed lower performance with 81.0% accuracy and 63.4% precision on UTA-RLDD.

Conclusions:

Advanced CV models, particularly YOLOv5 and YOLOv8, show significant promise for highly accurate, real-time driver drowsiness detection.
The developed system has the potential to substantially improve road safety through proactive, real-time alerts.
