A computer-implemented method for determining an information on whether at least one hand of a vehicle driver cooperates with a manual steering element of a vehicle, wherein the method comprises: - taking at least one image by means of at least one sensor mounted on the vehicle, wherein the at least one image captures at least a manual steering element of the vehicle; and - determining, on the basis of the at least one image, an information on whether at least one hand (24, 24') of a vehicle driver cooperates with the manual steering element, characterized in that the at least one image comprises three-dimensional image data, and wherein the method further comprises: - detecting the steering element within the image; - detecting the at least one hand (24, 24') within the image when the at least one hand (24, 24') is contained in the image; - determining a distance between the detected steering element and the detected at least one hand (24, 24'); and - determining a first likelihood value on the basis of the distance, the first likelihood value indicating whether the at least one hand (24, 24') cooperates with the steering element, wherein the information is determined in dependence of the first likelihood value. wherein the method comprises: - taking at least one image by means of at least one sensor mounted on the vehicle, wherein the at least one image captures at least a manual steering element of the vehicle; and - determining, on the basis of the at least one image, an information on whether at least one hand (24, 24') of a vehicle driver cooperates with the manual steering element, - taking at least one image by means of at least one sensor mounted on the vehicle, wherein the at least one image captures at least a manual steering element of the vehicle; and - determining, on the basis of the at least one image, an information on whether at least one hand (24, 24') of a vehicle driver cooperates with the manual steering element, characterized in that the at least one image comprises three-dimensional image data, and wherein the method further comprises: - detecting the steering element within the image; - detecting the at least one hand (24, 24') within the image when the at least one hand (24, 24') is contained in the image; - determining a distance between the detected steering element and the detected at least one hand (24, 24'); and - determining a first likelihood value on the basis of the distance, the first likelihood value indicating whether the at least one hand (24, 24') cooperates with the steering element, wherein the information is determined in dependence of the first likelihood value. - detecting the steering element within the image; - detecting the at least one hand (24, 24') within the image when the at least one hand (24, 24') is contained in the image; - determining a distance between the detected steering element and the detected at least one hand (24, 24'); and - determining a first likelihood value on the basis of the distance, the first likelihood value indicating whether the at least one hand (24, 24') cooperates with the steering element, wherein the information is determined in dependence of the first likelihood value.
