DSMS/ADAS Visual Analysis - Comprehensive Assessment Report

Executive Summary

This report provides a systematic evaluation of the current Streamlit-based Driver State Monitoring System (DSMS) and Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) implementation, with focus on optimizing for low-specification CPUs while maintaining high accuracy.

Current Status: ⚠️ Non-Functional - Missing 9/11 critical dependencies, multiple code bugs, and significant performance bottlenecks.


1. Assessment of Current Implementation

1.1 Code Structure Analysis

Strengths:

  • Modular class-based design (RealTimePredictor)
  • Streamlit caching enabled (@st.cache_resource)
  • Frame skipping mechanism (inference_skip: 3)
  • Logging infrastructure in place
  • ONNX optimization mentioned for YOLO

Critical Issues Identified:

🔴 CRITICAL BUG #1: Incorrect Optical Flow API Usage

def optical_flow(self, prev_frame, curr_frame):
    """OpenCV flow for speed, braking, accel."""
    prev_gray = cv2.cvtColor(prev_frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
    curr_gray = cv2.cvtColor(curr_frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
    flow = cv2.calcOpticalFlowPyrLK(prev_gray, curr_gray, None, None)
    magnitude = np.mean(np.sqrt(flow[0]**2 + flow[1]**2))
    return magnitude

Problem: calcOpticalFlowPyrLK requires feature points as input, not full images. This will cause a runtime error.

Impact: ⚠️ CRITICAL - Will crash on execution

🔴 CRITICAL BUG #2: VideoMAE JIT Scripting Failure

processor = VideoMAEImageProcessor.from_pretrained(CONFIG['videomae_model'])
videomae = VideoMAEForVideoClassification.from_pretrained(CONFIG['videomae_model'])
videomae = torch.jit.script(videomae)
torch.jit.save(videomae, 'videomae_ts.pt')
videomae = torch.jit.load('videomae_ts.pt')

Problem: Transformer models cannot be JIT scripted directly. This will fail at runtime.

Impact: ⚠️ CRITICAL - Model loading will crash

🔴 CRITICAL BUG #3: ONNX Export on Every Load

yolo_base = YOLO(CONFIG['yolo_base'])
yolo_base.export(format='onnx', int8=True)  # Quantize once
yolo_session = ort.InferenceSession('yolov8n.onnx')

Problem: ONNX export runs every time load_models() is called, even with caching. Should be conditional.

Impact: ⚠️ HIGH - Slow startup, unnecessary file I/O

🟡 PERFORMANCE ISSUE #1: Untrained Isolation Forest

iso_forest = IsolationForest(contamination=0.1, random_state=42)

Problem: Isolation Forest is instantiated but never trained. Will produce random predictions.

Impact: ⚠️ MEDIUM - Anomaly detection non-functional

🟡 PERFORMANCE ISSUE #2: Multiple Heavy Models Loaded Simultaneously

All models (YOLO, VideoMAE, MediaPipe, Roboflow, Isolation Forest) load at startup regardless of usage.

Impact: ⚠️ HIGH - Very slow startup, high memory usage

🟡 PERFORMANCE ISSUE #3: Redundant Color Conversions

rgb = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

And later:

frame_rgb = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

Impact: ⚠️ MEDIUM - Unnecessary CPU cycles

🟡 PERFORMANCE ISSUE #4: VideoMAE Processing Every Frame

VideoMAE (large transformer) processes 8-frame sequences even when not needed.

Impact: ⚠️ HIGH - Major CPU bottleneck on low-spec hardware

🟡 PERFORMANCE ISSUE #5: No Model Quantization for VideoMAE

VideoMAE runs in FP32, consuming significant memory and compute.

Impact: ⚠️ HIGH - Not suitable for low-spec CPUs

🟡 PERFORMANCE ISSUE #6: Inefficient YOLO ONNX Parsing

bboxes = outputs[0][0, :, :4]  # xyxy
confs = outputs[0][0, :, 4]
classes = np.argmax(outputs[0][0, :, 5:], axis=1)  # COCO classes
high_conf = confs > CONFIG['conf_threshold']
return {'bboxes': bboxes[high_conf], 'confs': confs[high_conf], 'classes': classes[high_conf]}

Problem: Assumes incorrect ONNX output format. YOLOv8 ONNX outputs are different.

Impact: ⚠️ HIGH - Detection results will be incorrect

3. Improvement Suggestions

3.1 Critical Bug Fixes (Priority 1)

Fix #1: Correct Optical Flow Implementation

Replace calcOpticalFlowPyrLK with calcOpticalFlowFarneback (dense flow) or implement proper Lucas-Kanade with feature detection.

Recommended: Use cv2.calcOpticalFlowFarneback for dense flow (simpler, faster).

Fix #2: Remove VideoMAE JIT Scripting

Replace with direct model loading or ONNX conversion if quantization needed.

Alternative: Use lighter action recognition (MediaPipe Pose + heuristics).

Fix #3: Conditional ONNX Export

Add file existence check before export.

Fix #4: Fix YOLO ONNX Output Parsing

Use Ultralytics built-in ONNX post-processing or correct output format.

3.2 Performance Optimizations (Priority 2)

Optimization #1: Replace VideoMAE with Lightweight Alternative

Options:

  • Option A: MediaPipe Pose + Temporal Logic (yawn detection via mouth opening)
  • Option B: Lightweight 2D CNN (MobileNet-based) for action classification
  • Option C: Remove action recognition, use face analysis only

Recommendation: Option A - Zero additional model, uses existing MediaPipe.

Optimization #2: Lazy Model Loading

Implement: Load models only when needed, not all at startup.

Optimization #3: Model Quantization

  • YOLO: Already ONNX INT8 (verify)
  • VideoMAE: Convert to INT8 ONNX or remove
  • MediaPipe: Already optimized

Optimization #4: Frame Processing Pipeline

  • Cache color conversions
  • Reduce resolution further (320x240 for face, 640x480 for objects)
  • Process different regions at different rates

Optimization #5: Smart Frame Skipping

  • Different skip rates for different models
  • Face analysis: Every frame (fast)
  • Object detection: Every 3rd frame
  • Action recognition: Every 10th frame (if kept)

3.3 Algorithm Enhancements (Priority 3)

Enhancement #1: Train Isolation Forest

Collect normal driving features, train offline, save model.

Enhancement #2: Improve Distance Estimation

Use camera calibration or stereo vision for accurate distance.

Enhancement #3: Better PERCLOS Calculation

Use proper Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) formula instead of simplified version.

Enhancement #4: Temporal Smoothing

Add moving average filters to reduce false positives.
