Abstract: A detection device is used with a vehicle including a cabin, a ceiling, pillars, a driver seat, and a passenger seat. The detection device includes a detector disposed on the ceiling or the pillars of the vehicle and detecting an object in the cabin while not contacting the object, and a scanning unit that moves the detector for scan. The detection device can detect a temperature of the object accurately, and control air-conditioning comfortably to the object.

Abstract: An air-conditioning control apparatus includes a detector that obtains a thermal image of an occupant, a processing unit that estimates the thermal sensation of the occupant from a temperature distribution obtained by the detector, and a control unit that controls an air conditioner according to the estimation result of the thermal sensation. Upon detecting the occupant, the detector captures a thermal image of an area around the occupant.
