Abstract

The report evaluates the influence that the pitch of the basic arousal level gives awakening degree evaluation of the driver by the facial thermal image. We compared both of data, after conducting two experiments from which a fundamental awakening level differs. Consequently, we were able to evaluate the difference in a basic arousal level by the index of facial thermal image.
