核心创新

DrowSFormer-XAI是一个融合CNN和Transformer的跨注意力疲劳检测框架,核心突破在于可解释性——不仅检测疲劳,还能展示模型关注了哪些面部特征做出判断。

一句话总结: 用Transformer的跨注意力机制融合多面部特征流,同时通过XAI技术让疲劳检测决策过程透明可追溯。

为什么需要可解释性?

Euro NCAP对可解释性的要求

Euro NCAP 2026 DSM协议要求OEM在Dossier中声明:

  • 疲劳检测的触发条件
  • 模型关注的特征区域
  • 警告等级判定逻辑

DrowSFormer-XAI直接满足这一需求——通过Grad-CAM等可解释AI技术可视化模型决策依据。

现有方法的可解释性不足

方法 准确率 可解释性 问题
CNN (VGG/ResNet) ~90% ⚠️ 低 黑盒决策
纯Transformer ~92% ⚠️ 中 注意力图粗糙
传统PERCLOS ~85% ✅ 高 规则可追溯但精度低
DrowSFormer-XAI ~93% ✅ 高 注意力可视化+特征归因

关键设计决策

设计 选择 理由
多流架构 眼/嘴/头部姿态 分离疲劳的三个关键信号
CNN+Transformer CNN提取+Transformer融合 兼顾局部精度和全局关系
跨注意力 流间双向注意力 眼闭→嘴开的相关性建模
可解释性 注意力可视化+Grad-CAM 满足Euro NCAP Dossier要求

IMS 应用启示

1. 可解释性直接满足Euro NCAP

Euro NCAP DSM Dossier要求 → DrowSFormer-XAI直接提供:

✅ 触发条件 → 注意力权重显示关注了哪个特征
✅ 特征区域 → Grad-CAM热图可视化
✅ 警告逻辑 → 分类头输出对应疲劳等级
✅ 模型透明度 → 注意力权重可审计

2. 边缘部署可行性

指标 DrowSFormer-XAI 部署要求
参数量 ~5-10M ✅ <20M
帧率 ~25-30 fps ✅ >15fps
精度 ~93% ✅ >90%
可解释性 ✅ 内置 ✅ 需要

3. 与现有IMS融合
