Fatigue driving behavior recognition in all-weather real driving environments is a challenging task. Accurate recognition of fatigue driving behavior is helpful to improve traffic safety. The facial landmark detector is crucial to fatigue driving recognition. However, existing facial landmark detectors are mainly aimed at stable front face color images instead of side face gray images, which is difficult to adapt to the fatigue driving behavior recognition in real dynamic scenes. To maximize the driver's facial feature information and temporal characteristics, a fatigue driving behavior recognition method based on a multi-scale facial landmark detector (MSFLD) is proposed. First, a spatial pyramid pooling and multi-scale feature output (SPP-MSFO) detection model is built to obtain a face region image. The MSFLD is a lightweight facial landmark detector, which is composed of convolution layers, inverted bottleneck blocks, and multi-scale full connection layers to achieve accurate detection of 23 key points on the face. Second, the aspect ratios of the left eye, right eye and mouth are calculated in accordance with the coordinates of the key points to form a fatigue parameter matrix. Finally, the combination of adaptive threshold and statistical threshold is used to avoid misjudgment of fatigue driving recognition. The adaptive threshold is dynamic, which solves the problem of the difference in the aspect ratio of the eyes and mouths of different drivers. The statistical threshold is a supplement to solve the problem of driver's low eye threshold and high mouth threshold. The proposed methods are evaluated on the Hunan University Fatigue Detection (HNUFDD) dataset. The proposed MSFLD achieves a normalized mean error value of 5.4518%, and the accuracy of the fatigue driving recognition method based on MSFLD achieves 99.1329%, which outperforms that of state-of-the-art methods.
