First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus detecting driving incapability state of a driver, the apparatus comprising:
- a head detection portion that successively detects a head portion, which is higher than a neck of the driver, based on an image of a driver seat captured by an imaging device mounted in a vehicle; and
an out-of-frame state detection portion that detects that the driver is incapable of driving, when the head portion detected by the head detection portion is out of a predetermined scope in the image during travelling of the vehicle.

11. An apparatus detecting driving incapability state of a driver, the apparatus comprising:
-
a head detection portion that successively detects a head portion, which is higher than a neck of the driver, based on an image of a driver seat captured by an imaging device mounted in a vehicle; a trajectory acquisition portion that acquires a trajectory of the head portion from positions of the head portion detected by the head detection portion; and an out-of-frame state detection portion that detects that the driver is incapable of driving based on the trajectory acquired by the trajectory acquisition portion, during travelling of the vehicle.
