  • Patent number: 11951926
    Abstract: A seating state detection device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a detection signal group in a predetermined period that is output as a result of transmission and reception of waves by a radio wave sensor mounted on a vehicle, a signal extraction unit configured to extract specific-intensity signals in a predetermined reflection intensity range from the detection signal group, and a determination unit configured to determine whether an occupant in the vehicle is in a first riding state in which the occupant is directly seated on a seat or in a second riding state in which the occupant is seated in an infant auxiliary device, based on a distribution mode of the specific-intensity signals.

  • Publication number: 20240071106
    Abstract: An occupant detection device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire, based on an intensity of a reflected wave generated when a transmission wave transmitted toward an interior of a moving body is reflected by an object present in the interior, point cloud information indicating a three-dimensional-coordinate position of the object moving in the interior as a point cloud including a plurality of detection points; a generation unit configured to generate, based on the point cloud information, a seat row map for each seat row including a plurality of seating regions, the seat row map indicating a distribution of the detection points in a plane region corresponding to an arrangement direction of the plurality of seating regions and a height direction of the moving body; a setting unit configured to set, on the seat row map, an upper end line along an upper end portion of a plane point cloud including two or more of the detection points; and an estimation unit configured to estimate the number of occ

  • Publication number: 20220397643
    Abstract: An occupant detection device includes: a radio wave sensor located above a seat surface of a seat that is disposed in a vehicle cabin of a vehicle, in a vertical direction of the vehicle, and including a transmission unit configured to transmit a transmission wave to the vehicle cabin and a reception unit configured to receive a reflected wave generated by the transmission wave being reflected by an occupant on the seat; a creation unit configured to create, based on the reflected wave, three-dimensional map information in the vehicle cabin in which a position of a reflection point of the reflected wave is represented by three-dimensional coordinates; and a calculation unit configured to calculate, based on the three-dimensional map information, backbone information that is information on a backbone of the occupant on the seat.

  • Patent number: 11380009
    Abstract: A physique estimation device includes: a camera capturing an image of an inside of a vehicle; a skeleton point coordinate acquisition unit acquiring positions of skeleton points of a body image of an occupant included in a captured image of the inside as skeleton point coordinates in a two-dimensional coordinate system of the captured image; a front coordinate estimation unit machine learned such that, by receiving a distance between preset skeleton points and an angle of a skeleton line obtained by connecting the skeleton points with respect to a reference line, a front coordinate that is an arrangement of the skeleton points when the occupant is viewed from front is estimated and output; and a physique determination unit determining a physique of the occupant based on the front coordinate.
