  • Real-time method of determining eye closure state using off-line adaboost-over-genetic programming
    Patent number: 7610250
    Abstract: Real-time video images of a human subject's face are processed by a plurality of classification algorithms developed in an off-line training process to determine the open vs. closed eye state of the subject. The off-line training process utilizes a genetic programming loop embedded within an adaptive boosting loop, and forms the classification algorithms and weighting factors for combining their classification scores. In the real-time process, the individual classification scores are combined and compared to a threshold to determine the open vs. closed eye state.
