Characterisation of the driver’s non-driving activities (NDAs) is of great importance to the design of the take-over control strategy in Level 3 automation. Gaze estimation is a typical approach to monitor the driver’s behaviour since the eye gaze is normally engaged with the human activities. However, current eye gaze tracking techniques are either costly or intrusive which limits their applicability in vehicles. This paper proposes a low-cost and non-intrusive dual-cameras based gaze mapping system that visualises the driver’s gaze using a heat map. The challenges introduced by complex head movement during NDAs and camera distortion are addressed by proposing a nonlinear polynomial model to establish the relationship between the face features and eye gaze on the simulated driver’s view. The Root Mean Square Error of this system in the in-vehicle experiment for the X and Y direction is 7.80±5.99 pixel and 4.64±3.47 pixel respectively with the image resolution of $1440 \times 1080$ pixels. This system is successfully demonstrated to evaluate three NDAs with visual attention. This technique, acting as a generic tool to monitor driver’s visual attention, will have wide applications on NDA characterisation for intelligent design of take over strategy and driving environment awareness for current and future automated vehicles.
