The present invention relates to an airbag control device and method. The airbag control device includes: an image capturing portion having at least one camera and at least one lighting device; an image processing portion for performing image-processing on an image acquired by the image capturing portion; a collision sensing portion for sensing collision of the vehicle; an airbag driving portion for operating the airbag; and a control portion for extracting face information of a passenger from the image processed by the image processing portion, determining airbag control information based on the extracted face information, and then controlling the airbag driving portion based on the determined airbag control information when the vehicle is predicted to collide. Accordingly, the present invention aims to provide an airbag control device and method configured to extract face information of a passenger using a camera and to control a deployment angle (direction), speed, and pressure of an airbag in accordance with the face information.
