Driver monitoring apparatus and method for controlling illuminator thereof
A driver monitoring apparatus includes: a driver monitoring camera configured to obtain an image of a user while adjusting an irradiation range of irradiated light; and a driver state sensor configured to request the driver monitoring camera to adjust the irradiation range depending on an operation mode. The driver monitoring apparatus is capable of improving reliability in monitoring a driver state by controlling an irradiation range and intensity of lighting depending on an operation mode and an external environment at the time of monitoring the driver state to irradiate light to only a region of interest.
