DriveAlert 🚗💤

Real-time Driver Drowsiness & Yawning Detection using MediaPipe, OpenCV, and Text-to-Speech.
DriveAlert monitors a driver’s eyes and mouth through a webcam feed to detect signs of sleepiness or fatigue and issues both on-screen and voice alerts.

🛠 Tech Stack

• Python: Main programming language.
• OpenCV: For video stream processing.
• MediaPipe: For robust facial landmark detection.
• NumPy: For efficient numerical computations.
• pyttsx3: For text-to-speech alerts.

⚙️ How It Works

1. Capture — The webcam feed is read in real-time using OpenCV.
2. Detect Landmarks — MediaPipe detects facial landmarks (eyes, mouth).
3. Calculate EAR & MAR —
   • EAR < threshold → eyes closed for a certain duration → drowsiness alert.
   • MAR > threshold → mouth wide open for a certain duration → yawn alert.
4. Alert — Visual and voice alerts are triggered using pyttsx3.
