Abstract:
A driver state determination apparatus includes a far-infrared camera and a state determination section. The far-infrared camera takes facial images of a driver of a vehicle; the facial images are far-infrared images indicating a temperature distribution on a facial surface of the driver. The state determination section determines an abnormal state of the driver based on the far-infrared images sequentially taken by the far-infrared camera during a predetermined period.
