Patent attributes
Method and system for detecting vehicle occupant actions are disclosed. For example, the method includes receiving, by one or more processors, previously classified image data from a previously classified image database, the previously classified image data representing driver postures that are rotated and scaled to be standardized for a range of different drivers and different locations of a vehicle interior sensor within a given vehicle, wherein the previously classified image data is representative of previously classified vehicle occupant actions; receiving, by the one or more processors, current image data from the vehicle interior sensor subsequent to the vehicle interior sensor being registered within the given vehicle, wherein the current image data is representative of current vehicle occupant actions; and determining, by the one or more processors, a vehicle occupant action based at least in part upon a comparison of the current image data and the previously classified image data.
