Driver fatigue is a leading factor in road accidents that can cause severe fatalities. Existing fatigue detection works focus on vision and electroencephalography(EEG) based means of detection. However, vision-based approaches suffer from view-blocking or vision distortion problems and EEG-based systems are intrusive, and the drivers have to use/wear the devices with inconvenience or additional costs. In our work, we propose a novel Wi-Fi signals based fatigue detection approach, called WiFind to overcome the drawbacks as associated with the current works. WiFind is simple and (wearable) device-free. It can detect the fatigue symptoms in the vehicle without relying on any visual image or video. By applying self-adaptive method, it can recognize the body features of drivers in multiple modes. It applies Hilbert-Huang transform(HHT) based pattern extract method results in accuracy increase in motion detection mode. WiFind can be easily deployed in a commodity Wi-Fi infrastructure, and we have evaluated its performance in real driving environments. The experimental results have shown that WiFind can achieve the recognition accuracy of 89.6% in a single driver scenario.

In the context of escalating advancements in AI generative technologies, Deepfakes, the sophisticated face forgeries created using deep learning methods, have emerged as a significant security threat. The predominant countermeasures are Deepfake detectors based on deep learning (DL). However, due to the opaque nature of DL-model, they struggle to offer understandable explanations for their predictive decisions, which undermines their reliability and effectiveness in real-world applications. Existing mainstream DL-oriented interpretation approaches, the feature attribution methods, struggle to work on Deepfake detectors due to issues of low interpretation fidelity, poor intelligibility, and limited applicability across different types of detectors. This paper addresses these critical challenges by proposing the Deepfake Detector Lens (DDL), a novel framework designed to enhance the interpretability of diverse architectural Deepfake detectors, encompassing those based on image, frequency domain, and video. DDL employs a heuristic algorithm to enhance interpretation efficacy and incorporates image segmentation and face parsing techniques to bridge the gap between the machine-generated interpretation saliency map and human understanding. Comprehensive evaluations of DDL demonstrate its superiority over existing feature attribution methods in terms of fidelity, intelligibility, and applicability. The proposed DDL significantly advances the interpretability of Deepfake detection technology, offering a more reliable and understandable tool for combating AI-generated face forgeries.
