In order to avoid traffic accidents caused by driver fatigue, smoking and talking on the phone, it is necessary to design an effective fatigue detection algorithm. Firstly, this paper studies the detection algorithms of driver fatigue at home and abroad, and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the existing algorithms. Secondly, a face recognition module is introduced to crop and align the acquired faces and input them into the Facenet network model for feature extraction, thus completing the identification of drivers. Thirdly, a new driver fatigue detection algorithm based on deep learning is designed based on Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) algorithm, and the additional layer network structure of SSD is redesigned by using the idea of reverse residual. By adding the detection of drivers' smoking and making phone calls, adjusting the size and number of prior boxes of SSD algorithm, improving FPN network and SE network, the identification and verification of drivers can be realized. The experimental results showed that the number of parameters decreased from 96.62 MB to 18.24 MB. The average accuracy rate increased from 89.88% to 95.69%. The projected number of frames per second increased from 51.69 to 71.86. When the confidence threshold was set to 0.5, the recall rate of closed eyes increased from 46.69% to 65.87%, that of yawning increased from 59.72% to 82.72%, and that of smoking increased from 65.87% to 83.09%. These results show that the improved network model has better feature extraction ability for small targets.
