Claim 8:
9. A device configured for adjusting or controlling at least one actuator, in a vehicle, comprising:
an image capturing unit in 2D or 3D arranged in the vehicle, which is designed to capture an image or a video of a sitting person in the vehicle (1),
a data processing unit that is designed to extract the body data of the person and to generate a body data model from the body data, wherein body data indicative of a plurality of defined key points of the body, the plurality of defined key points of the body are of at least one of: wrist joints, arm joints, sternum, shoulder joints, knee joints, elbow joints, hip joints, and head centre points,
a software module in a memory of the data processing unit is designed to compare the body data model with a plurality of reference body poses obtained from a database and to select a corresponding reference body pose,
a software module in a memory of the data processing unit accessing a database to obtain a plurality of reference body poses, comparing them to the body data model and select a corresponding reference body pose accordingly, wherein the plurality of reference body poses are indicative of a determined arrangements and positions of a plurality of defined key points of the body and their spatial positions in relation to each other,
an activation unit configured to activate an actuator assigned to the selected reference body pose with a setting of the actuator assigned to the selected reference body pose for adjusting or controlling the at least one vehicle component of the vehicle, wherein the at least one vehicle actuator is in the vehicle,
wherein the data processing unit is designed to generate the body data model in form of a table with two-dimensional coordinates of key points of the body or in form of graphs with connecting lines in between the detected key points, wherein the data processing unit is designed to apply a matching algorithm or a machine learning classification method, in order to compare the body data model to the reference body poses and in order to select a corresponding reference body pose.
