- it outputs the determination result to the first second task determination unit 5a.
- the running determination unit 1 determines that the vehicle 30 is not running (NO in step S101)
- the running determination unit 1 repeats step S101 until it determines that the vehicle 30 is running. That is, since the second task is allowed to be performed while the vehicle 30 is stopped, the occupant monitoring device 20 does not perform the determination of the second task.
- step S102 the second task determination unit 5 causes the image acquisition unit 3 to acquire a captured image from the imaging unit 2 that captures an image of the driver.
- step S103 the grip state determination unit 4 uses the captured image acquired by the image acquisition unit 3 to determine the grip state indicating whether or not the driver is gripping the steering wheel with both hands.
- step S104 the first second task determination unit 5a uses the captured image acquired by the image acquisition unit 3 to determine whether or not the second task is being performed. In addition, when the first second task determination unit 5a determines that the second task is being performed, it may further determine the type of the second task.

- the gripping state determining unit 4 determines that the gripping state is "both hands"
- the driver is gripping the steering wheel with both hands, so both hands are physically occupied. Therefore, the result of determination that the second task is being executed by the first second task determination unit 5a (YES in step S104) is erroneous. Therefore, in step S108, the second second task determination section 5b determines that the determination result of the first second task determination section 5a is invalid.

- the amount of time during which it is expected that the driver's concentration on driving will decrease and that the driver will not be able to handle the steering wheel with both hands will differ depending on the type of the second task. Therefore, the preset time may be set differently depending on the type of the second task. For example, the preset time is 2 to 3.5 seconds for the second task of smoking, and 3 to 4.5 seconds for the second task of conversation using a portable terminal.
- step S109 if the second task is not continuously performed for the preset time, the processing operation of the occupant monitoring device 20 is terminated.

- the cigarette is smaller than the handle, it may be erroneously determined that the smoking second task is being performed even when the cigarette is not actually captured in the captured image.
- the second task of smoking has been described as an example, but the same applies to other second tasks. In other words, there is a possibility that the determination result using the captured image in the first second task determination unit 5a is an erroneous determination.
- the gripping state determination unit 4 determines the gripping state using a captured image.
- the handle is larger than, for example, a cigarette
- the holding state can be determined with higher accuracy than the second task of the cigarette. That is, the determination result of the gripping state determination unit 4 is more accurate than the determination result of the first second task determination unit 5a. Therefore, the second second task determination unit 5b determines whether or not the second task is being performed, taking into account the determination result of the gripping state determination unit 4 in addition to the determination result of the first second task determination unit 5a. do.

This encourages the driver to finish the second task, so that the driver can concentrate on driving and try to drive safely by gripping the steering wheel with both hands.
- the output unit 7 outputs a signal to the display unit 8 every time the first second task determination unit 5a determines that the second task is being performed, the display unit 8 displays a large number of times, which annoys the driver. feel. Therefore, the second task determination unit 5b causes the output unit 7 to output a signal when the second task is continuously performed for a preset time. As a result, if the second task continues for a period of time during which it is expected that the driver will not be able to concentrate on driving and will not be able to handle the steering wheel with both hands, it will be possible to monitor the occupants.

- the second task determination unit 5b causes the output unit 7 to output a signal when the determination result stored in the storage unit 6 indicates that the second task of the same type has been continuously performed for a preset time. .
- the preset time differs depending on the type of the second task. Depending on the type of the second task, how long the second task is continuously performed may reduce the driver's ability to concentrate on driving, and the driver may not be able to respond quickly because the driver is not holding the steering wheel with both hands. . Therefore, by setting the preset time differently depending on the type of the second task, it is possible to prompt the driver to finish the second task at the optimum timing for the type of the second task being performed. can.

Abstract
Description
例えば特許文献1では、セカンドタスクである喫煙を検出する喫煙検出装置が開示されている。特許文献1の喫煙検出装置は、車両の内部に設けられた撮像部により運転者の顔を撮像し、撮像画像を用いて運転者の顔向きを判定するとともに、顔向きに応じて煙草燃焼部の存在判別領域を設定する。そして、特許文献1の喫煙検出装置は、存在判別領域に煙草燃焼部の候補領域である高温領域を探索することにより、運転者の喫煙を検出する。
実施の形態1における乗員監視装置20について図1を用いて説明する。図1は、実施の形態1の乗員監視装置20を備えた車両30の一部を示すブロック図である。乗員監視装置20は、車両30を運転する運転者がセカンドタスクを実施しているか否かを判定する。ここで、車両30とは車である例を説明するが、バイク、電車、飛行機等の人の操作により動かされる乗物であればよい。セカンドタスクとは、運転者が少なくとも一方の手をハンドルから離した状態で、運転中に行う運転以外の行為である。例えば、セカンドタスクは喫煙、携帯端末の操作、携帯端末を用いた会話、飲食、書類の確認、及び読書である。図1に示すように、車両30は、走行判定部1、撮像部2、画像取得部3、把持状態判定部4、セカンドタスク判定部5、記憶部6、出力部7、及び表示部8を備える。乗員監視装置20は、走行判定部1、画像取得部3、把持状態判定部4、セカンドタスク判定部5、記憶部6、及び出力部7を備える。セカンドタスク判定部5は、第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aと第2のセカンドタスク判定部5bとを有する。
第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aは、あらかじめ画像情報およびセカンドタスクの種類が組み合わせられた学習用データに従って生成された機会学習モデルを備え、機械学習モデルに画像取得部3により取得した撮像画像を入力することで、セカンドタスクを判定する。
機械学習モデルを生成する学習アルゴリズムとして、深層学習(Deep Learning)を用いてもよいし、例えば、遺伝的プログラミング、機能論理プログラミング、又はサポートベクターマシン等の他の公知の方法に従って機械学習モデルに学習させてもよい。
本実施の形態では、第2のセカンドタスク判定部5bは、第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aにおいてセカンドタスクが実施されていると判定された場合に、把持状態判定部4が「両手」の把持状態ではないと判定した場合、第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aの判定結果を有効とする。そして、第2のセカンドタスク判定部5bは、第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aにおいてセカンドタスクが実施されていると判定された場合に、把持状態判定部4が「両手」の把持状態であると判定した場合、第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aの判定結果を無効とする。
記憶部6はセカンドタスク判定部5の判定結果を記憶する。記憶部6は予め設定された分の過去の判定結果を記憶でき、少なくとも前回と最新の撮像画像に対するセカンドタスク判定部5の判定結果を記憶する。また、記憶部6は把持状態判定部4の判定結果をさらに記憶してもよい。
以上により、乗員監視装置20の処理動作を終了する。
上述のとおり、本実施の形態における乗員監視装置20は、撮像画像を用いて、運転者が運転中に行う運転以外の行為であるセカンドタスクが実施されているか否かを判定する第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aと、運転者が両手でハンドルを把持している状態であるか否かを示す把持状態を判定する把持状態判定部4と、第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aの判定結果及び把持状態判定部4の判定結果に基づき、セカンドタスクが実施されているか否かを判定する第2のセカンドタスク判定部5bを備える。これにより、乗員監視装置20は、セカンドタスクの判定を高精度に行うことができる。
例えば、第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aにおいて、撮像画像を用いて、喫煙のセカンドタスクが実施されていると判定したとする。しかしながら、煙草はハンドルと比較して小さいため、実際には撮像画像中に煙草が写っていない場合にも喫煙のセカンドタスクが実施されていると誤判定される虞がある。また、二次元の撮像画像から煙草と運転者の口との距離を正確に推定することは困難である。そのため、例えば運転者が手に煙草を持ちつつ、両手でハンドルを把持している場合にも、撮像画像上では、運転者の顔と煙草の位置が近く判定されるため、誤って喫煙のセカンドタスクが実施されていると判定される虞がある。ここでは、喫煙のセカンドタスクを例に説明したが、他のセカンドタスクでも同様である。つまり、第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aにおける撮像画像を用いた判定結果は、誤判定である可能性がある。
運転者が両手でハンドルを把持している状態において、運転者は両手が塞がっているため、セカンドタスクを実施することはできない。そのため、運転者が両手でハンドルを把持している状態において、第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aはセカンドタスクが実施されていると判定した場合、第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aの判定結果は誤りである。そこで、第2のセカンドタスク判定部5bは第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aの判定結果を無効とすることにより、セカンドタスクの判定をより高精度に行うことができる。
実施の形態2における乗員監視装置20について説明する。実施の形態2の乗員監視装置20の構成は、実施の形態1の乗員監視装置20の構成と同様である。実施の形態1と同様の構成については、同一符号が付されている。
以上により、乗員監視装置20の処理動作を終了する。
第2のセカンドタスク判定部5bは、最新の第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aの判定結果と前回の第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aの判定結果とが異なる場合にセカンドタスクの状態が変化したと判定し、最新の第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aの判定結果と前回の第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aの判定結果とが同じ場合はセカンドタスクの状態に変化はないと判定する。
把持状態の予め設定された条件は、セカンドタスクの状態が変化する可能性がない条件である。そのため、セカンドタスクの状態が変化した場合に、把持状態が予め設定された条件である場合は、第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aの判定結果は誤りである。そこで、第2のセカンドタスク判定部5bは第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aの判定結果を無効とすることにより、セカンドタスクの判定をより高精度に行うことができる。
実施の形態3における乗員監視装置20について説明する。実施の形態3の乗員監視装置20の構成は、実施の形態1又は実施の形態2の乗員監視装置20の構成と同様である。実施の形態1及び実施の形態2と同様の構成については、同一符号が付されている。
実施の形態3の乗員監視装置20では、把持状態判定部4による把持状態の判定が実施された後に、第2のセカンドタスク判定部5bによる判定を実施する。そして、第2のセカンドタスク判定部5bは、把持状態に応じて、第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aによる判定を実施させるか否かを判定する。より具体的には、第2のセカンドタスク判定部5bは、把持状態が予め設定された条件を満たさない場合は、第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aによる判定を実施させ、把持状態が予め設定された条件を満たす場合は、第1のセカンドタスク判定部5aによる判定を実施させない。
以上により、乗員監視装置20の処理動作を終了する。
実施の形態4における乗員監視装置20について図6を用いて説明する。図6は実施の形態4の乗員監視装置20を備えた車両30の一部を示すブロック図である。実施の形態1では、把持状態判定部4は撮像画像を用いて把持状態を判定する例を示した。実施の形態4では、把持状態判定部4はハンズオンセンサ9のハンズオン信号を用いて把持状態を判定する。その他の乗員監視装置20の構成は実施の形態1から3のいずれか1つと同様である。実施の形態1から3と同様の構成については、同一符号が付されている。
把持状態判定部4は、ハンズオンセンサ9のハンズオン信号を用いて把持状態を判定する。
実施の形態5における乗員監視装置20について図7を用いて説明する。図7は実施の形態4の乗員監視装置20を備えた車両30の一部を示すブロック図である。本実施の形態の車両30は、自動運転を実施する自動運転制御部10、及び自動運転レベルを制御する自動運転レベル制御部11を有する。実施の形態1と同様の構成については、同一符号が付されている。
