- This paper presents a method for driver face monitoring which includes face detection and estimation of its direction. In particular, the present method tries to extract a face from gray scale images obtained using a near-infrared camera, which is equipped in the top of the automobile windshield. This method is based on a template matching (SSDA method) with multi templates and a neural network (NN) for face detection. After template matching, NN tries to recognize a face and its direction. Furthermore, the simple PCA is used to yield features suitable for face detection. From results of computer simulations, it is shown that our approach can give a good result for vehicle driver face monitoring.
