Abstract

An occupant monitoring device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a captured image obtained by imaging a region in which there is a probability that a face of an occupant is present in a vehicle; a determination unit that determines whether the captured image acquired by the acquisition unit corresponds to at least a first image not including a feature portion of the face of the occupant but including at least a part of a body of the occupant or a second image not including the body of the occupant; and a processing unit that monitors a state change of the face of the occupant based on the captured image, and switches whether or not an occupant parameter set for monitoring the state change of the face of the occupant is to be reset according to a determination result in the determination unit.
