Abstract
The line of sight estimating device has a processor configured to estimate a line of sight direction of a driver using the facial feature points and determine reliability of the line of sight direction based on the reliability of the facial feature points, determine whether or not the driver is in a gazing state based on the line of sight direction and multiple other line of sight directions, when the reliability of the line of sight direction is below a threshold, detect a gazed object estimated to be gazed at by the driver appearing in a front image based on the line of sight direction, when the driver is in the gazing state, and correct the line of sight direction so as to be oriented toward the gazed object, when the reliability of the line of sight direction is below the threshold and the driver is in the gazing state.
