Abstract

Introduction

With the rapid development of society, motor vehicles have become one of the main means of transportation. However, as the number of motor vehicles continues to increase, traffic safety accidents also continue to appear, bringing serious threats to people's lives, and property safety. Fatigue driving is one of the important causes of traffic safety accidents.

Methods

To address this problem, a target detection algorithm called VA-YOLO is designed to improve the speed and accuracy of facial recognition for fatigue checking. The algorithm employs a lightweight backbone network, VanillaNet, instead of the traditional backbone network, which reduces the computational and parametric quantities of the model. The SE attention mechanism is also introduced to enhance the model's attention to the target features, which further improves the accuracy of target detection. Finally, in terms of the bounding box regression loss function, the SIoU loss function is used to reduce the error.

Results

The experimental results show that, compared to YOLOv8n, the VA-YOLO algorithm improves the accuracy by 1.3% while the number of parameters decreases by 30%.

Conclusion

This shows that the VA-YOLO algorithm has a significant advantage in realizing the balance between the number of parameters and accuracy, which is important for improving the speed and accuracy of fatigue driving detection.
