Male students invented sleep-resting machines for drivers

Wishing to limit traffic accidents due to the driver falling asleep, Nguyen Ngoc Duc (Quang Xuong, Thanh Hoa) invented a warning device with many practical values.

Witness many traffic accidents and one of the reasons is driver drowsiness, Nguyen Ngoc Duc , student of 12C1 high school Nguyen Xuan Nguyen (Quang Xuong, Thanh Hoa) arises the idea of device invention "Landscape report, wake up and cut the drowsiness ".

Born in a rural family, his father worked as a builder, his mother at home cut hair, and Germany did not study well, but especially liked computer science. At the beginning of the 10th grade, I developed the idea of inventing a sleep-resistant machine . When sharing with computer teacher Le Ich Tam, I received support and dedicated guidance. At the end of 10th grade, two teachers and students started work and after about 6 months, the product was completed.

Creative master said, I designed a device to reduce drowsiness according to the model of the miniature computer. Devices include hardware and software. Hardware includes a mini computer, a processor for the monitor.Csharp programmed language software uses open source and some histogram libraries for eye and face recognition.

The biggest difficulty of Germany is to set up the software, because the high school program I have never learned Csharp programming language but only learn Pascal algorithms."I have to go online to search from open libraries and documents from foreign countries are translated into Vietnamese, luckily succeeded," Duc said.

Male students confided, sometimes it was difficult to give up halfway but was encouraged by their families and teachers to try to overcome.

Germany said, the screen of the product is quite cumbersome even though it has been improved, he is studying to shrink it.(Photo: Le Hoang).

The principle of operation of the German alarm, wake-up and sleep-cutting device is quite simple. When the camera captures the driver image, the processor after receiving the image will recognize the face parts such as eyes, nose, ears . Through the light chart, the device will analyze the eyes and give the result The result of driving is awake or falling asleep.

If the driver shows signs of drowsiness, the processor will immediately take steps to handle the warning. Initially, the device will warn with a built-in voice : "You are in a state of unfocused, suggest focusing again" . German explanation, voice warning does not cause sudden, not startling the driver and dangerous. After the voice warning, the device can continue to siren to bring the driver back to full alert state.

He was a small student, his eyes were bright, because his family was afraid to influence the study of culture, so at first, his parents did not support him but he was determined to go down. In order to produce finished products, Germany lost about 5 million dong to buy materials."Many rare materials, which cannot be found on the spot, I must ask the instructor to go to Hanoi to search ", Duc said.

With bold ideas and practical values, surpassing 700 topics from high schools in Thanh Hoa province, products that warn, wake and cut the drowsiness of Germany to win the first prize in the Creative Competition. science and technology for high school students in the 2014-2015 school year. At the national competition organized by the Ministry of Education and Training in March 2016 in Hai Phong, this product continued to win the second prize (without the first prize).

Not yet learned through Csharp programming language but male students can still complete the product, which surprised many teachers.(Photo: Le Hoang).

With this achievement, Germany will be recruited directly to a number of specialized IT universities after completing the high school program. Wishing to become a software engineer, I am exploring some scholarship sources to pursue my dream of studying abroad.

Germany intends to improve the product to be compact and improve the accuracy of the device. "My product also has some disadvantages that need to be upgraded such as a cumbersome screen, webcam devices need to use infrared to catch better strokes at night .", Germany said and showed up. has upgraded the language processing interface in both English and Vietnamese so that the product is suitable for foreigners.
