Abstract: A method of classifying, by an apparatus including a processor and a memory, a subject-independent driver state according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include (a) learning a state classification model that receives one or more drivers' bio-signal data from a database to output the drivers' state classification (b) receiving a new driver's bio-signal, (c) preprocessing the received new driver's bio-signal, and (d) inputting the preprocessed new driver's bio-signal to the state classification model to output the driver's state classification result, wherein the bio-signal is at least one of an electroencephalogram (EEG), an electrooculogram (EOG), an electrocardiogram (ECG), and a photoplethysmogram (PPG).

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an image sensing apparatus including a driver disposed on a substrate and configured to drive a light emitter and a light receiver to emit a first optical signal toward an object and receive a second optical signal reflected from the object, a housing coupled to the substrate and surrounding the light emitter, the light receiver, and the driver, a diffuser disposed on the housing, and a transparent electrode disposed on the diffuser, wherein the driver includes a transparent electrode driver configured to detect whether the diffuser is damaged in a first mode and shields electromagnetic interference noise in a second mode by using the transparent electrode.
