Abstract
Many active safety technologies for the driver support system are developed. Most of the traffic accidents are caused by driver’s inattentive or drowsy. We are developing a driver support system that protects from traffic accidents by these causes. Our purpose is to detect the driver’s face region. A lot of face detection methods are proposed, but there is not a technique addressing every environment inside the car. In this paper, we propose a skin detection method by the unique reflection characteristics of the materials. We developed the skin detection system, and confirmed the effectiveness by the evaluation experiment.
