Disclosed are techniques and apparatuses for seat belt status detection in a vehicle. In an aspect, a method includes the operations of: obtaining first infrared (IR) images and second visible light images of a seat belt region where a seat belt is expected to be visible when it is worn by a person in the vehicle; transmitting the first images to a first classifier and the second image to a second classifier; determining a first estimate of probability and a second estimate of probability that the seat belt is correctly worn, from the first and second classifiers; combining the two estimates of probability, using respective scores attributed to the first and second images, each score being indicative of the trustworthiness of the corresponding image to detect a seat belt status, to determine a combined probability; and comparing the combined probability to a predetermined threshold to determine a seat belt status.
