Abstract:
A method for determining the identification and position of objects in a passenger compartment of a vehicle, comprising the steps of:storing a derivation of images of the passenger compartment taken from a plurality of specific locations with different objects in various positions in the passenger compartment in association with data relating to the identification of the objects and the position of the objects relative to the passenger compartment,transmitting electromagnetic waves into the passenger compartment,obtaining a plurality of images of the interior of the passenger compartment from the specific locations, andcomparing a derivation of the obtained images of the interior of the passenger compartment with the stored derivation of images to obtain the associated data relating to the identification and position of the objects of the image of the stored derivation to which the obtained images of the interior of the passenger compartment match most closely.
