Abstract

At least one monocular camera is installed in a vehicle in addition to in-cabin camera(s). Images captured by the in-cabin camera(s) at a first frame rate are processed to determine first positions of facial landmark features of a user and first poses of the user's face. Images captured by the at least one monocular camera at a second frame rate, higher than the first frame rate, are processed to identify facial landmark features of the user in the second images. Second positions of the facial landmark features are determined at the second frame rate, by correlating the facial landmark features identified in the second images with the first positions of the facial landmark features determined from the first images. Second poses of the user's face are determined at the second frame rate based on the second positions of the facial landmark features and the first poses of the user's face.
