Abstract
The vehicle cabin state recognizing device of the present disclosure includes a plurality of cameras capable of capturing an image of a vehicle cabin provided on a steering wheel, and an image processing device connected to the plurality of cameras. The image processing device first acquires a captured image from each of the plurality of cameras. The image processing device then determines a shielding state of each of the plurality of cameras from a state of a captured image of each of the plurality of cameras. The image processing device further selects a captured image of the minimum shielding camera having the smallest shielding degree among the plurality of cameras. Then, the image processing device executes recognition processing for recognizing the state of the vehicle cabin with respect to the captured image of the minimum shielding camera.
