    Abstract: A vehicular cabin monitoring system includes an interior-viewing camera disposed at an interior rearview mirror assembly within an interior cabin of a vehicle. A light emitter is disposed at the interior rearview mirror assembly and, when electrically operated, emits near infrared light to illuminate at least a portion of the interior cabin that is viewed by the interior-viewing camera. Image data captured by the camera is transferred to and is processed at an electronic control unit (ECU). The vehicular cabin monitoring system, via processing at the ECU of image data captured by the interior-viewing camera, (i) detects presence of an occupant occupying a seat within the vehicle and (ii) determines posture of the occupant relative to the occupied seat. Based at least in part on the determined posture of the occupant relative to the occupied seat, improper posture of the occupant relative to the occupied seat is determined.
