Abstract
A driver state determination apparatus determines the state of a driver's face based on an image captured by a driver monitoring camera provided for the steering wheel. The device comprises a driver state determination unit that determines the driver's state from the image and a position change information acquisition unit that acquires position change information of the steering wheel. The driver state determination unit estimates the position of the driver's face in the image after the position change based on the position of the driver's face in the image before the position change and the position change information. It then determines the driver's state from the estimated position of the driver's face and the image after the position change.
