  • Patent number: 11430231
    Abstract: A facial information detecting unit detects facial information related to facial features of a driver of a vehicle. A physical information detecting unit detects physical information related to physical features of the driver. A driving capability estimating unit estimates a driving capability of the driver on the basis of the facial information and the physical information. A facial expression estimating unit estimates the facial expression of the driver on the basis of the facial information. An emotion estimating unit estimates the emotion of the driver represented by the degree of comfort and the degree of activeness on the basis of temporal changes in the driving capability of the driver and the facial expression of the driver.

  • Patent number: 11146784
    Abstract: An abnormality detection device includes processing circuitry configured to calculate an index value indicating a sum of edge strengths in a second image that is an image captured by a camera for capturing a vehicle compartment at timing before a user enters a vehicle, calculate a differential value between an index value indicating a sum of edge strengths in a reference image, which is an image captured by the camera under an imaging condition equivalent to an imaging condition of the second image before the second image is captured, and the calculated index value, determine whether the differential value is equal to or greater than a threshold value, and execute control to output a warning in a case where it is determined that the differential value is equal to or greater than the threshold value.
