Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Fatigue measurement is conducted while the eyes are gazing at something to accomplish the determination and monitoring of a real-time and non-contact fatigue.OBJECTIVE:To figure out the percentage of eyelid closure (PERCLOS)value for fatigue and deduct the subject's fatigue state.DESIGN:To detect the subject's pupils with a reconstructed eye tracking system ,the video frequency of the pupils is collected, from which the PERCLOS value is worked out by image processing. The PERCLOS value is used to reflect the subject's fatigue state.SETTING:School of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Beijing Jiaotong University.MATERIALS :The experiment was conducted in the Ergonomics Lab from September 2003 to November 2004. The equipments used were video transmission cable, frame grab card and computer.METHODS:The video frequency images of pupil module sent from eye tracking system were processed to deduct the closure state of the pupil and figure out the PERCLOS value for the determination of fatigue.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES :The images collected by image collecting card reflected the state of opening and closure of the pupil.RESULTS:A fatigue determination system which was able to determine effectively the examinee's fatigue state was established.CONCLUSION:This new method expands the application of eye tracking system which can be safely used off-line or on-line.
