Passive safety systems such as seatbelts and airbags provide protection right after collision takes place, but more recently active safety systems have been introduced to prevent collision, in the first place. In the presence of complicated environmental distractions, such as drastic illumination changes, random and rapid head movements, and background clutter or background scene motion, most of the safety systems fail to detect the face of the driver. However, using computer-vision based safety driving system, we can monitor the driver's face in complex and challenging driving conditions.
