Abstract

A computer-implemented method for detecting a head pose in a vehicle including receiving images of a vehicle occupant located in the vehicle from an imaging device and selecting facial feature points from a plurality of facial feature points extracted from the images. The method includes calculating a head pose point based on normalizing the selected facial feature points, determining the head pose based on a change in position of the head pose point over a period of time T, and controlling one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle based on the head pose.
