ABSTRACT:
In a conduct inference process, feature points are extracted from a capture image. The extracted feature points are collated with conduct inference models to select conduct inference models in each of which an accordance ratio between a target vector and a movement vector is within a tolerance. Among the selected conduct inference models, one conduct inference model in which a distance from a relative feature point to a return point is shortest is selected. Then, a specific conduct designated in the selected conduct inference model is tentatively determined as a specific conduct the driver intends to perform. Furthermore, based on the tentatively determined specific conduct, it is determined whether the specific conduct is probable. When it is determined that the specific conduct is probable, an alarm process is executed to output an alarm to the driver.
