Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for intelligent driving monitoring systems, advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving systems, and providing alerts to the driver of a vehicle, based on anomalies detected between driver behavior and environment captured by the outward facing camera. Various aspects of the driver, which may include his direction of sight, point of focus, posture, gaze, is determined by image processing of the upper visible body of the driver, by a driver facing camera in the vehicle. Other aspects of environment around the vehicle captured by the multitude of cameras in the vehicle are used to correlate driver behavior and actions with what is happening outside to detect and warn on anomalies, prevent accidents, provide feedback to the driver, and in general provide a safer driver experience.
