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 1):
A driver state recognition apparatus for recognizing a state of a driver of a vehicle provided with an autonomous driving system, comprising:\n an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image captured by a camera configured to capture the driver; a hand detection unit configured to detect a hand of the driver from the image acquired by the image acquisition unit; an object holding state detection unit configured to detect a holding state of an object by the hand of the driver that is detected by the hand detection unit; and a readiness determination unit configured to determine whether the hand of 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 that is detected by the object holding state detection unit, wherein the object is an object that is different from an accessory of the vehicle that the driver operates with the hand.
