Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle occupant monitoring device and a vehicle occupant protection system, and aims to improve the vehicle occupant monitoring device. The occupant monitoring device (60) of a vehicle (1) is capable of irradiating light from a light emitting device (66) to an occupant taking the vehicle (1) and capturing an image by an image capturing device (65) to monitor the position of the occupant, and includes: a plurality of image capturing modules (61, 62) having the image capturing device (65) and the light emitting device (66); and a control unit (17) that controls the imaging of the plurality of imaging modules (61, 62). The control unit (17) causes each of the plurality of imaging modules (61, 62) to irradiate light from the light-emitting device (66) during imaging by the imaging device (65), and when a collision of the vehicle (1) is predicted or detected, simultaneously irradiates light from the light-emitting devices (66) of the plurality of imaging modules (61, 62) to the occupant, images the occupant, and monitors the occupant's position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to occupant monitoring devices for vehicles. Background technique [0002] In automobiles and the like, the occupant of the vehicle is often photographed, and the state of the occupant is judged based on the captured image (Patent Documents 1 and 2). [0003] If the coordination is not well performed, the line of sight is frequently shifted, etc., so that the occupant feels uncomfortable. [0004] prior art literature [0005] patent documents [0006] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-043009 [0007] Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2016-038793 Contents of the invention [0008] The problem to be solved by the invention [0009] However, it is desirable that in the vehicle, not only the state of the occupant is monitored by the occupant monitoring device alone, but also the monitoring results such as the position of the occupant monitored by the occupant monit...
