1. A device for determining vehicle operator gestures and providing the vehicle operator gestures to at least one individual other than the vehicle operator, the device comprising:
- a previously classified image data receiving module stored on a memory that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive previously classified image data from at least one previously classified image database, wherein the previously classified image data is representative of previously classified vehicle operator gestures;
a current image data receiving module stored on a memory that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive current image data from at least one vehicle interior sensor, wherein the current image data is representative of current vehicle operator gestures, and wherein the current image data is representative of rotated and scaled postures that are normalized for a range of different vehicle operators;
a current image data classification module stored on a memory that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to classify the current image data by comparing the current image data to the previously classified image data, wherein the currently classified image data is representative of at least one current vehicle operator gesture; and
a currently classified image data transmission module stored on a memory that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to transmit the currently classified image data to at least one individual other than the vehicle operator.

8. A computer-implemented method for determining vehicle operator gestures and for transmitting the vehicle operator gestures to at least one individual other than the vehicle operator, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a processor of a computing device, previously classified image data from at least one previously classified image database in response to the processor executing a previously classified image data receiving module, wherein the previously classified image data is representative of previously classified vehicle operator gestures; receiving, at a processor of a computing device, current image data from at least one vehicle interior sensor a current image data receiving module, in response to the processor executing a current image data receiving module, wherein the current image data is representative of at least one current vehicle operator gesture, and wherein the current image data is representative of rotated and scaled postures that are normalized for a range of different vehicle operators; classifying, using a processor of a computing device, at least one gesture associated with a vehicle operator, based on a comparison of the current image data with the previously classified image data, in response to the processor executing a current image data classification module; and transmitting, using a processor of a computing device, the currently classified image data to at least one individual other than the vehicle operator, in response to the processor executing a currently classified image data transmission module. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to determine degrees of vehicle operator risk, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:
-
a previously classified image data receiving module that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive previously classified image data from at least one previously classified image database, wherein the previously classified image data is representative of previously classified vehicle operator risk; a current image data receiving module that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive current image data from at least one vehicle interior sensor, wherein the current image data is representative of current vehicle operator risk, and wherein the current image data is representative of rotated and scaled postures that are normalized for a range of different vehicle operators; a current image data classification module that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to classify the current image data by comparing the current image data to the previously classified image data, wherein the currently classified image data is representative of at least one current vehicle operator gesture; and a currently classified image data transmission module that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to transmit the currently classified image data to at least one individual other than the vehicle operator. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
