Abstract:
A driver state recognition apparatus that recognizes a state of a driver of a vehicle provided with an autonomous driving system includes an image acquisition unit that acquires an image captured by a camera that captures the driver, a hand detection unit that detects the hands of the driver from the image acquired by the image acquisition unit, an object holding state detection unit that detects the holding state of an object by the hands of the driver detected by the hand detection unit, and a readiness determination unit that determines whether the driver is in a state of being able to immediately operate a steering wheel of the vehicle during autonomous driving, based on the holding state of the object detected by the object holding state detection unit.

Claim (Index 7):
The driver state recognition apparatus according to  claim 6 , further comprising:\n a sensor signal acquisition unit configured to acquire a sensor signal that is based on contact of the hand of the driver from a sensor provided in the steering wheel, wherein the steering wheel holding state detection unit detects the holding state of the steering wheel by the driver, based on the sensor signal that is acquired by the sensor signal acquisition unit.
