An ECU which is connected to an image sensor and an illuminance sensor includes an eyelid detection unit that detects the positions of the upper and lower eyelids from a face image, an eyelid determination unit that determines the positions of the upper and lower eyelids detected by the eyelid detection unit, and an eye opening degree calculation unit that calculates the degree of eye opening. The eyelid determination unit searches for a red-eye candidate in the range in which the skin is assumed to be present from the positions of the upper and lower eyelids detected by the eyelid detection unit. When the red-eye candidate is searched in the range, the eyelid determination unit determines that the eyelid detection unit falsely detects the positions of the upper and lower eyelids. |
