Abstract
Image-based analysis techniques are used for cognitive state vehicle navigation, including an autonomous or a semi-autonomous vehicle. Images including facial data of a vehicle occupant are obtained using an in-vehicle imaging device. The vehicle occupant can be an operator of or a passenger within the vehicle. A first computing device is used to analyze the images to determine occupant cognitive state data. The analysis can occur at various times along a vehicle travel route. The cognitive state data is mapped to location data along the vehicle travel route. Information about the vehicle travel route is updated based on the cognitive state data. The updated information is provided for vehicle control. The updated information is rendered on a second computing device. The updated information includes road ratings for segments of the vehicle travel route. The updated information includes an emotion metric for vehicle travel route segments.
