    摘要: A method hands-on-wheel detection includes receiving a handwheel angle signal from a sensor associated with a handwheel of a vehicle and generating, based on a handwheel angle indicated by the handwheel angle signal, a handwheel speed signal and a handwheel acceleration signal. The method also includes synchronizing the handwheel speed signal and the handwheel acceleration signal by generating a delayed handwheel speed signal and a delayed handwheel acceleration signal. The method also includes generating an operator torque estimation signal based on, at least, the delayed handwheel speed signal and the delayed handwheel acceleration signal. The method also includes determining whether hands of an operator of the vehicle are on the handwheel based on the operator torque estimation signal.

    摘要: State information can be determined for a subject that is robust to different inputs or conditions. For drowsiness, facial landmarks can be determined from captured image data and used to determine a set of blink parameters. These parameters can be used, such as with a temporal network, to estimate a state (e.g., drowsiness) of the subject. To improve robustness, an eye state determination network can determine eye state from the image data, without reliance on intermediate landmarks, that can be used, such as with another temporal network, to estimate the state of the subject. A weighted combination of these values can be used to determine an overall state of the subject. To improve accuracy, individual behavior patterns and context information can be utilized to account for variations in the data due to subject variation or current context rather than changes in state.
