Claim 10:
11. A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with instructions that when executed by at least one processor causes the processor to perform:
tracking at least one contaminated area in a vehicle cabin using 112 sensor data from an IR sensor;
determining whether there is a direct line of sight between a UV emitter and the at least one contaminated area;
generating a UV illumination mask by:
activating UV illumination in the UV illumination mask to target the at least one contaminated area when there is the direct line of sight between the UV emitter and the at least one contaminated area; and
deactivating UV illumination in the UV illumination mask to other areas in the vehicle cabin that are not identified as contaminated;

configuring the beam steering module of the UV emitter based on the UV illumination mask; and
activating the UV emitter for UV illumination by using the beam steering configuration to target the at least one contaminated area.
