Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for protecting a passenger in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
a collision detection unit that detects a predicted collision state and a collision state of a vehicle;
a collision type determination section that receives the collision state from the collision detection unit, and determines a collision type;
a seat belt driving unit that adjusts tension of a seat belt according to an operation mode;
an airbag driving unit that deploys each of a plurality of airbags according to a driving signal;
a capturing unit that captures images of an interior of the vehicle;
an image processing unit that extracts passenger information by processing an image, which is inputted from the capturing unit, based on deep learning; and
a control unit that recognizes a passenger type and a seating position based on the passenger information extracted by the image processing unit, operates the seat belt driving unit by setting the operation mode on the basis of the seating position when the predicted collision state is inputted from the collision detection unit, adjusts deployment time points of the plurality of airbags according to the collision type, an initial passenger position, the passenger type, and the seating position, and outputs the driving signal to the airbag driving unit.
