  • POSTURE DISCRIMINATION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20220284790
    Abstract: A posture discrimination device includes: a skeleton point detection unit detecting a skeleton point of a person in an image; a posture discrimination probability value calculation unit calculating a posture discrimination probability value of the person based on detection of the skeleton point; and a posture discrimination unit discriminating a posture of the person based on the posture discrimination probability value. The posture discrimination probability value calculation unit calculates a falling discrimination probability value indicating a probability of the posture of the person being a falling posture. The posture discrimination unit includes a falling erroneous discrimination determination unit determining an erroneous discrimination of the falling posture based on the falling discrimination probability value.

  • Seat load detection method and seat load detection apparatus
    Patent number: 11268847
    Abstract: A seat load detection method includes a process in which a control unit records a transition of a load detection signal and a transition of a seat load, a process in which the control unit specifies a timing when a load sensor detects a collision of a vehicle based on a transition record of the load detection signal, and a process in which the control unit calculates a correction value of the seat load based on a difference value between a stable seat load provided after the control unit detects the collision of the vehicle and a stable seat load provided before the load sensor detects the collision of the vehicle.
