An Electro-Oculogram (EOG) Sensor’s Ability to Detect Driver Hypovigilance Using Machine Learning

Driving safely is crucial to avoid death, injuries, or financial losses that can be sustained in an accident. Thus, a driver’s physical state should be monitored to prevent accidents, rather than vehicle-based or behavioral measurements, and provide reliable information in this regard. Electrocardiography (ECG), electroencephalography (EEG), electrooculography (EOG), and surface electromyography (sEMG) signals are used to monitor a driver’s physical state during a drive. The purpose of this study was to detect driver hypovigilance (drowsiness, fatigue, as well as visual and cognitive inattention) using signals collected from 10 drivers while they were driving. EOG signals from the driver were preprocessed to remove noise, and 17 features were extracted. ANOVA (analysis of variance) was used to select statistically significant features that were then loaded into a machine learning algorithm. We then reduced the features by using principal component analysis (PCA) and trained three classifiers: support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and ensemble. A maximum accuracy of 98.7% was obtained for the classification of normal and cognitive classes under the category of two-class detection. Upon considering hypovigilance states as five-class, a maximum accuracy of 90.9% was achieved. In this case, the number of detection classes increased, resulting in a reduction in the accuracy of detecting more driver states. However, with the possibility of incorrect identification and the presence of issues, the ensemble classifier’s performance produced an enhanced accuracy when compared to others.


Introduction
Drivers at the wheel work for long hours without adequate sleep, leading to poor health and inattentive driving due to chatting on mobile phones, and fatigue are factors that contribute to road accidents. Fatigue is brought on by illness or physical activity, and drowsiness is a prelude to sleep [1]. Inattention is a state of becoming distracted from a current physical activity and occurs in two ways: visual (distracted by sight) and cognitive (distracted by thinking). Road accidents are fatal or result in crippling injuries. According to the road traffic injury and prevention [2] report, nearly 1.25 million people die this way each year, with an average of 3287 deaths a day. A report from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways indicates that India's total number of road accidents increased on electrodes performance [25]. In [26], the final result does not display 100% specificity but rather achieves around 95% accuracy. In electrooculography (EOG), a normal blink is an upward signal change that is followed almost immediately by a downward signal change, which is known as reopening after reaching the peak [27]. EOG features such as blink duration and PERCLOS are ranked higher than any EEG feature [28]. SEM-related EOG features, saccades, blinks, and the energy collected from 22 subjects provide the highest average correlation on a combination of multiple features and vigilance. Detecting a driver's sleepiness using EEG, EOG, and the contextual information of 30 drivers achieved 79% accuracy for multiclass and 93% for binary classifications [29]. Electrooculography, which chiefly features SEM, detects the driver's vigilance level while a monotonous task was being carried out [30]. The drawback in recording EOG signals when the driver is at the wheel lies in the difficulty involved in placing electrodes close to the eyes, which is intrusive and hampers movement [31]. A Google glass-based drowsiness detection system was used to monitor eye blink frequency. Drowsiness is detected with rising eye blink frequency, longer braking response times, and increasing lane deviation, all of which serve to alert the driver [32]. The blink detection technique, which was used in videos to detect eye movements has problems with different lighting conditions. The difficulty is detected through the use of an infrared (IR) camera that produces an easily detectable reflection in the eyes [33]. However, the parameters extracted from the video do not correlate with the homologs extracted from electrooculography [34]. The eye blink feature extracted from EOG signals provides the same accuracy as that from a high-frame video. Drowsiness detection using eye blink features extracted from EOG signals, based on the fuzzy method offers an 81.7% correct detection rate and a 13.1% false alarm rate [35]. Researchers have used the EEG cap for the collection of EOG signals [9,13,26]. A forehead EOG device was found to be far more suitable and convenient than a traditional one, from a practical standpoint, for the detection of driving fatigue [26,36]. EOG signals can be measured in a non-invasive and nonintrusive manner [37]. The camera-based driver monitoring system measures eye movements to build a multiple regression model and can predict the driver's reaction time that it takes for recognition and response to requests in automated driving. Saccades of different sizes and saccadic velocities are correlated with driver performance [38]. In [39], HOS features were proposed for the extraction of features that contain more emotional information when compared to the general statistical features used widely in emotion research using physiological signals. The ease with which EOG signals can be collected, their immunity to slight noises, and the success of EOG-based methods in terms of accuracy have resulted in their use in hypovigilance detection [40].

Motivation
Road accident avoidance before it happens saves lives and lowers the number of injuries, financial losses, and fatalities. This study employed a driving simulator to lower the risk on the road and created an effective detection system utilizing the right approaches and algorithms. The following procedure was involved in creating an intelligent driver hypovigilance detection system. A protocol was initially created for a continuous two-hour driving session with stages of hypovigilance. Three different time periods are evaluated on ten people. To assess the subjective measure, pre-and post-driving surveys were created. EOG electrodes are applied to the individuals' bodies after a thorough explanation of the protocol.
This physiological measurement can be evaluated using the subject signals. To measure levels of visual and cognitive inattention, weariness, and drowsiness, the subject is permitted to operate a motor vehicle continuously for two hours. When the subject nods off, the session is over. Each session's signals and video are gathered and pre-processed using the relevant filtering methods. Following the extraction of EOG features, significant features are chosen, features are decreased in dimension, and several classifier techniques are used.

Contribution
The objective of this work was to suggest appropriate methods for recording electrical activity from electro-oculographic (EOG) eye movements to detect driver drowsiness, fatigue, and inattention (visual and cognitive) in order to alert drivers. The novelty of this paper lies in bringing out the data collection for EOG signals from different driver states and the fusion techniques that can be applied in the detection of driver hypovigilance [41]. Very few researchers have used EOG as the physiological measure in driver state detection. This study examines the driver hypovigilance detection using EOG in comparison to the other two-class detection. The study contributes the following findings: Designing a protocol to induce hypovigilance. Acquiring the EOG recordings from 10 subjects driving at three different times of the day. The collected driver physiological information is pre-processed using various filtering techniques. The classification in five classes (normal, visual inattention, cognitive inattention, fatigue, and drowsy) in which detection performed better with the Ensemble classifier. The performance of hypovigilance detection by combining the significant features obtained a better accuracy of 90.9%.
The outline of this paper is as follows: Section II details the methodology used in the acquisition of EOG signals. It also provides a description of the system and protocol design, data collection, signal pre-processing, feature extraction, and reduction, and the classification of driver hypovigilance states. Section III presents the results of the ANOVA test and the accuracy obtained, which is based on the performance of driver state classification using several machine learning algorithms. Section IV discusses the results and draws conclusions from the driving experiment for the detection of an EOG-based driver hypovigilance system in real-time.

Materials and Methods
A system that detects driver states (drowsiness, fatigue, visual inattention, and cognitive inattention) using physiological measures has been developed. Figure 1 depicts the methodology of the function involved in the development of a secure system for every vehicle. Initially, a protocol was designed, and the signals collected from the subjects were denoised and features to be extracted. They were then classified using machine learning algorithms based on the driver's physical state. Finally, the driver was alerted when a behavioral change was detected.

Experimental Design
The driving task was undertaken at the Artificial Intelligence Lab, VISTAS, Chennai. The lab has a driving simulator with three monitors for game display [42]. The entire room was draped in black to duplicate a nighttime driving environment. A simulator was installed with the Speed Dreams 2.2.1v game for monotonous driving at a speed limit of 70 km/h. A 1-mile low banked oval speedway track was chosen with a constant speed throughout the session, and the driver, feeling fatigued due to the progress made in the session, eventually became downright drowsy. Physiological measures obtained with the use of the Virgo SL-40 PSG device (Allengers, Chennai, India) had the following features: 21-EEG, 2-ECG, 2-EOG, 2-EMG, and 2-SpO2 channel systems; heart rate; abdominal and thoracic body positions; 2 limb movement channels; nasal/oral airflow pressure; and snoring, with 4 auxiliary and 2 bipolar channels. In this study, EOG signals were used for the detection of the hypovigilance states of the subjects. The physiological signals were sampled at 256 Hz. An IR camera in night vision mode captured the driver's actions for the entire session. Some experiments were seen as having unimodal problems and multi-model problems, which required analysis [43]. The video and signals collected were synced with the time taken. Figure 2 shows the data acquisition system and the experimental testing setup.

The protocol was designed to collect physiological signals over a 2h continuous driving session (Figure 3). A total of 30 recordings in all were captured during three different time slots [44] over a 24-h period when the circadian rhythm was low: Each slot consisted of 15 mins of practice driving and 10 mins of normal data collected without driving; 15 mins with driving data collected; 5 mins of data taken for visual inattention (the driver was distracted, via a phone text message requiring a mandatory reply, 3 times in all while driving); 15 mins of continuous driving; followed by 5 mins of data for cognitive inattention (the driver was called upon the phone and asked questions that required thinking through before they were answered and, based on the speed at which the answers were delivered, the level of difficulty in the questions increased); and the final 70 mins of data were used to monitor fatigue and variations in stages of drowsiness (slightly sleepy, moderate sleepy, and extreme sleepy).

Data Collection
Data were collected from 10 participants (9 males, 1 female) between 20 and 40 on the basis of the protocol designed, the physiological signals (ECG, EEG, EMG, and EOG), and behavioral (video) data. The protocol was clearly explained to the drivers, who were then asked to fill in a form indicating their willingness to participate in the study. The driver's personal details and consent form were collected, and an honorarium was paid after the session. The 2-part form handed to the drivers included a pre-questionnaire (on each driver's sleep criteria) and a post-questionnaire (the experience they had during the 2-h driving session). The forms with the information were collected after the driving session. EOG electrodes were placed near the eyes, to the left and the right (Figure 4). EOG signals were collected while driving and split with respect to the video recorded. The signals were categorized into five classes: normal, drowsy, visual inattention, cognitive inattention, and fatigue.

Pre-Processing
The raw EOG signal was contaminated with neuronal sources and artifacts such as facial muscles and body or head movements while speaking, which required proper filtering. The electrodes placed near the eyes are subject to more motion artifacts due to facial expressions, which resulted in baseline wandering and sudden peaks in the signal. In Figure 5, the first plot shows the raw EOG signal with peaks detected and the second plot shows the filtered EOG signal after pre-processing.

Feature Extraction
In this study, statistical, higher-order statistical (HOS), time-domain, and non-linear features were extracted. Time-frequency domain features, which could not be directly used by themselves, required reductions in terms of dimensions before being directed to a classifier [45]. In all, 16 EOG features comprising 10-time domain features (mean, median, maximum, minimum, root mean square, power, energy, sample entropy, standard deviation, and variance), a higher order of statistical features (skewness, kurtosis), and 5 non-linear features (the Hurst exponent and central tendency measure of nanmean, harmonic mean, mode, and trimmean) were extracted. The EOG features that were extracted, followed by their equations, are shown in Table 1.

Mean

Feature Selection
Features with a significant difference (p < 0.05) were selected based on ANOVA. Table 2 shows the EOG features that were selected for classification. They include the mean, maximum, minimum, power, energy, Hurst, variance, sample entropy, nanmean, and mode, all of which were features selected by the ANOVA and fed as inputs into the machine learning algorithm.

Classification
The features were extracted and fed to several classifiers for their best performance. PCA was enabled on the ANOVA-selected features for a reduction in the principal component features for enhanced accuracy. Table 3 depicts EOG's performance on hypovigilance multi-class detection. It also presents a comparison of the performance obtained by EOG signals collected from the left and right eyes. Features were selected from the ANOVA based on significant differences, and the PCA was applied for feature selection. Additionally, PCA provided support in reducing dimensionality (features) to explore the accuracy of the detection rate. The features chosen for multi-class detection included the mode, Hurst, sample entropy, and mean, which were given to the SVM, KNN, and ensemble classifiers. The EOG for the left eye obtained a maximum accuracy of 94.6% for two classes (normal with visual inattention), 87.9% for three classes (normal, drowsy, and cognitive inattention), 82.7% for four classes (normal, drowsy, visual inattention, cognitive inattention), and 86.6% for five classes (normal, drowsy, visual inattention, cognitive inattention, and fatigue). Similarly, the EOG for the right eye obtained a maximum accuracy of 98.7% for two classes (normal with cognitive inattention), 93.5% for three classes (normal, drowsy, and cognitive inattention), 91.3% for four classes (normal, drowsy, visual inattention, cognitive inattention), and 90.9% for five classes (normal, drowsy, visual, inattention, cognitive inattention and fatigue). Table 3 shows EOG performance in driver hypovigilance detection. Machine learning algorithms (SVM, KNN, and Ensemble) play a vital role in the classification of different classes based on the features trained.  The inference from the results that the EOG accuracy obtained for multi-class detection was that it was less than that for binary-class detection [46]. Deep learning algorithms enhance performance, just as PCA-reduced features maximize the accuracy of EOG signals. The results showed the mode, Hurst, sample entropy, and mean as the best for all the EOG features. Additionally, the ensemble classifier provided comparatively good performance and accuracy compared to the other classifiers [47], as it used the bagging strategy. This improvement in accuracy came with a much longer response time and fewer error [48]. Figure 6 shows the overall comparison between the classification performances on the fusion of different driver states. Table 2 shows the consolidated maximum accuracy that was obtained for two-class, three-class, four-class, and five-class. The EOG signals found a better detection for visual and cognitive inattention than the other driver states. and fewer error [48].

Table 4 clearly shows the good performance of EOG in the detection of driver hypovigilance with the application of PCA. The comparative study from the previous work with the proposed indicated actual performance gain was used. The fusion of five-class detection with the PCA reduced the features and improved the performance of EOG in hypovigilance detection to 90.9%. Compared to the accuracy of two-class detection, hypovigilance had a lower accuracy indicating that the number of detection classes was more. This system used a one-againstall classification approach for multiclass detection, with the advantage that it could detect several driver behavior patterns.

Performance on Hypovigilance Detection
The focus of this research is on the detection of driver drowsiness, fatigue, and inattention using electrooculography (EOG). This paper, however, combines all three of the states above with five behavior classes for the detection of driver hypovigilance. Chieh et al., 2005 used digital signal differentiation and simple information fusion techniques for the detection of drowsiness, with a detection rate of more than 80% [22]. Similarly, [30] applied fuzzy and supervised learning classification techniques related to the same end producing a good 82% true detection rate and a 13% false alarm rate. This approach obtained a remarkable 86.7% accuracy for driver drowsiness detection (Table 3). For driver fatigue detection, [50] used regression analysis and obtained a correlation coefficient of 0.88 on average. Likewise, using the EOG data of 22 subjects, [9] obtained a high correlation coefficient with an average vigilance reference of up to 0.75 for driver fatigue detection. The indexing technique takes LBP while taking into account data from nearby pixels and is noise-resistant [51,52]. The methods used in this experiment helped obtain an 86.7% accuracy in driver fatigue detection using electrooculography (EOG) compared to earlier experiments (Table 2). Very few researchers have worked on driver cognitive inattention and obtained an overall F1 score of 0.93 [44]. Comparatively speaking, however, the average results obtained from this study for visual and cognitive inattention was 91.1%, indicating an improvement over the results obtained from the earlier experiments on EOG in the detection of different states in which the driver was placed. Table 5 describes the comparison on the performance of proposed model with the existing works.

Conclusions
This work on driver hypovigilance detection in different states (normal, fatigue, visual inattention, cognitive inattention, and drowsy) acquired from EOG signals will help in the prediction of accidents. The performance on two-class detection was 98.7% which indicated a drastic decrease following an increase in the number of states in which the driver was placed. The maximum accuracy that was obtained to detect driver hypovigilance was 90.9%, with reduced false detection. Electrooculography (EOG) devices can be made less intrusive by turning them into comfortable smart wear items for future driver use. Further research can be taken up with a contribution of electrooculography (EOG) with electroencephalography (EEG) for the detection of different driver states with a reduction in the channels for the achievement of superior performance. A prototype with an alert mechanism could be implemented for the identification of hypovigilance states of the drivers in a real-time driving environment. In the future, experiments need to be performed with a greater number of participants from a wide range of age groups to analyze the results in real-time.
