Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for vehicle driving assistance systems that support image processing for vehicular monitoring operations. In a first aspect, a method of monitoring includes receiving first image data from a first camera oriented in a first direction with a first field of view facing a user; receiving second image data from a second camera oriented in a second direction different from the first direction, the second camera having a second field of view corresponding to a field of view of the user; determining a set of regions of interest based on the second image data; determining a gaze direction of the user based on the first image data; and determining an attentiveness score based on correspondence between the set of regions of interest and the gaze direction. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
