MobileNetV2-driven gait analysis for drunkenness detection: a scalable vision-based approach for enhancing public safety
摘要
The increasing frequency of alcohol-related accidents highlights the need for efficient methods to identify intoxicated individuals. Traditional techniques like breathalyzers and direct cooperation face challenges, especially in large-scale or public safety scenarios. In response, we present a novel, markerless approach for detecting drunkenness through gait analysis, utilizing standard cameras. Our method applies MobileNetV2, a convolutional neural network, to analyze gait energy images and classify individuals as either drunken or sober. By employing background removal, the neural network focuses solely on the human body, improving detection accuracy. The dataset consists of 60 walking videos, with equal representation of drunken and non-drunken states. Through the use of image augmentation, we achieved an 85.64% accuracy in classification, highlighting the potential of vision-based gait analysis for real-time public safety applications aimed at preventing alcohol-related accidents.
