MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641073956 A) filed by Vemu Institute Of Technology on June 15, 2026, for Real-Time Driver Drowsiness Monitoring System Using Adaptive Ear, Landmark Tracking, And Intelligent Alert Mechanism.
Inventors include Dr. A. Hema Sekhar; M. Kalyan Chakravarthy; N. Vamsi Krishna; P. Sukanya Reddy; R. Likitha; and Y. Ganesh.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a real-time driver drowsiness monitoring system incorporating a camera module (110), preprocessing module (120), face detection module (130), and landmark extraction module (140) for detecting facial features. An EAR computation module (150) evaluates eye closure, while a temporal analysis module (160) monitors prolonged eye closure across frames. The system integrates an adaptive threshold module (170) for personalized calibration, a head pose estimation module (180) for orientation correction, and an illumination normalization module (190) for robust performance under varying lighting. An alert generation module (200) provides non-blocking alerts. The invention ensures low-latency, privacy-preserving operation and improves detection accuracy under real-world conditions.
