Abstract

A device for estimating a seat position includes a processor configured to generate a mask image by masking a region representing a driver in a driver image representing the interior of a vehicle and generated by a camera while the driver is in the vehicle, generate one or more difference images based on the difference between the mask image and each of one or more reference images among which the position of a driver's seat differs, determine an individual estimate of the position of the driver's seat for each of the one or more difference images by inputting each of the difference images into a classifier, and calculate a statistically representative value of the individual estimates determined for the respective difference images as an estimate of the position of the driver's seat.
