Driving safety is an eternal theme of the transportation industry. In recent years, with the rapid growth of car ownership, traffic accidents have become more frequent, and the harm it brings to human society has become increasingly serious. In this context, car safety assisted driving technology has received widespread attention. As an effective means to reduce traffic accidents and reduce accident losses, it has become the research frontier in the field of traffic engineering and represents the trend of future vehicle development. However, there are still many technical problems that need to be solved. With the continuous development of computer vision technology, face detection technology has become more and more mature, and applications have become more and more extensive. This article will use the face detection technology to detect the driver's face, and then analyze the changes in driver's driving focus. Firstly, the problem of detecting the eyes and mouth status of the driver is discussed. The purpose is to capture the driver's long-term closed eyes and yawning and other actions closely related to the dozing behavior. Secondly, the problem of estimating the driver's head posture is studied. The purpose is to capture the abnormal movements of the driver's long bow, head up or frequent nodding. The study consists of three parts: detection of facial feature points, estimation of the head posture based on the feature points, and definition of fatigue characteristics. The experimental results show that the method in this paper is not only easy to operate but also has a high accuracy rate for the detection of driver concentration.
