<abstract> <p>In recent years, UAV industry is developing rapidly and vigorously. However, so far, there is no relevant research on the fatigue detection method for UAV remote pilot, which is the core technology to ensure the flight safety of UAV. Aiming at this problem, a fatigue detection method for UAV remote pilot is proposed in this paper. Specifically, we first build a UAV operator fatigue detection database (OFDD). By analyzing the fatigue features in the database, we find that multiple facial features are highly correlated to the fatigue state, especially the head posture, and the temporal information is essential for distinguish between yawn and speaking in the study of UAV remote pilot fatigue detection. Based on these findings, a fatigue detection method for UAV remote pilots was proposed by efficiently locating the related facial regions, a multiple features extraction module to extract the eye, mouth and head posture features, and an efficient temporal fatigue decision module based on SVM. The experimental results show that this method not only performs well on the traditional driver dataset, but also achieves an accuracy rate of 97.05%; and it achieves the highest detection accuracy rate of 97.32% on the UAV remote pilots fatigue detection dataset OFDD.</p> </abstract>
