乗員監視装置、乗員監視方法、乗員監視プログラム及び車両制御システム

Abstract

In the present invention, when vehicle information acquired from a vehicle control device (10) that controls a vehicle (1) indicates that the vehicle is being manually operated by an occupant, a control unit (19) of an occupant monitoring device (2) causes an image acquisition unit (13) to acquire a captured image and causes a calibration processing unit (16) to perform a calibration process, regardless of whether or not an occupant state detection process is being carried out by an occupant state detection unit (15) and a notification determination process is being carried out by a notification determination unit (18). When the vehicle information indicates that a driving assistance function has been carried out by the vehicle control device (10), the control unit (19) uses the captured image newly acquired by the image acquisition unit (13) and the result of the calibration process carried out by the calibration processing unit (16) during manual operation, to cause the occupant state detection unit (15) to perform the occupant state detection process and to cause the notification determination unit (18) to perform the notification determination process. As a result, unnecessary notifications that would occur due to appropriate calibration not being performed are suppressed.
