Image-based classification of driver status and / or driver behavior

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a corresponding device for determining the condition of a driver of a vehicle. A control unit (101) for a vehicle (100) is described. The control unit (101) is configured to receive image data from one or more image sensors (103). The one or more image sensors (103) are configured to detect a driver position (102) of the vehicle (100). The control unit (101) is further configured to use the image data to assign the viewing direction of a driver of the vehicle (100) to a viewing sector from a multiplicity of viewing sectors (201,..., 213) for a sequence of times, and thus temporally To determine course s (t) of viewing sectors as a representation of a temporal evolution of the driver's line of sight. Furthermore, the control unit (101) is set up to evaluate the temporal course s (t) of gaze sectors.
