Abstract
An occupant monitoring system includes a camera, an image processor and an exclusion structure. The camera is provided in a cabin and configured to capture an image of a face of an occupant in a vehicle. The image processor is configured to recognize the face of the occupant based on an imaging data captured by the camera. The exclusion structure is configured to exclude, from a field of view of the camera or the imaging data, a region contains an obstacle to be erroneously recognized as the face of the occupant.
