Claim One:
1. A device for determining degrees of vehicle operator risk, the device comprising: a previously classified image data receiving module stored on a memory that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive previously classified image data from at least one previously classified image database, wherein the previously classified image data is representative of previously classified vehicle operator risk; a current image data receiving module stored on a memory that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive current image data from at least one vehicle interior sensor, wherein the current image data is representative of current vehicle operator risk, and wherein the current image data includes images and/or extracted image features that are representative of vehicle occupant locations/orientations, cellular telephone locations/orientations, vehicle occupant eye locations/orientations, vehicle occupant head location/orientation, vehicle occupant hand location/orientation, a vehicle occupant torso location/orientation, a seat belt location, or a vehicle seat location/orientation; a degree of risk determination module stored on a memory that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to determine a vehicle operator degree of risk based on a comparison of the current image data with the previously classified image data; and a driver warning generation module stored on a memory that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to generate at least one of a driver warning, a driver advisory, a report, or a display, when the vehicle operator degree of risk exceeds a threshold value.
