  • Publication number: 20240310523
    Abstract: A method for monitoring an object in a compartment of a vehicle. The method includes generating, via a time-of-flight sensor, a point cloud representing the compartment of the vehicle. The point cloud includes three-dimensional positional information of the compartment. The method further includes determining, via processing circuitry in communication to the time-of-flight sensor, a shape of the object based on the point cloud. The method further includes classifying the object as an occupant based on the shape. The method further includes identifying a body segment of the occupant. The method further includes comparing the body segment to target keypoints corresponding to a target attribute for the body segment. The method further includes determining a condition of the occupant based on the comparison of the body segment to the target keypoints. The method further includes generating an output based on the determined condition.

  • Publication number: 20240308456
    Abstract: A system for managing adjustments for a component of a vehicle includes a time-of-flight sensor configured to generate a point cloud representing a compartment of the vehicle. The system further includes an actuator configured to adjust the component of the vehicle. The system further includes processing circuitry in communication with the time-of-flight sensor and the actuator. The processing circuitry configured to detect an occupant in a seat of the vehicle based on the point cloud, define a first portion of the point cloud corresponding to the occupant and a second portion of the point cloud corresponding to the seat of the vehicle, calculate a volume of the occupant based on the first portion of the point cloud, estimate a bodyweight of the occupant based on the volume, and communicate an instruction to adjust the component of the vehicle in response to the estimation of the bodyweight.
