Abstract
A system is provided which is effective for precisely detecting the positional conditions of a vehicle seat. A vehicle seat detecting system which is installed in a vehicle employs a system for detecting a three-dimensional surface profile of a vehicle seat from a single view point by a camera to conduct a process for deriving information about a seat back shoulder region among respective regions of the vehicle seat and then to detect the positional conditions of the vehicle seat based on the derived information about the seat back shoulder region.
