Abstract:
A method includes obtaining by an image-recording device of a vehicle first and second images that respectively represent first and second shadings on an object in the vehicle generated by illumination of the object by an illumination device of the vehicle at first and second illumination settings, respectively; processing the images, thereby identifying the first shading and the second shading; based on the identified first shading and second shading, detecting at least one of a surface structure and a position of the object; and based on the detected at least one of the surface structure and position, a least one of controlling a restraint and outputting a warning.

Claim (Index 11):
A system for performing an operation based on a detection of an object in a vehicle, the system comprising:\n an illumination device of the vehicle that is settable to different illumination settings and by which the object can be illuminated at the different illumination settings; an image-recording device by which images of the object are recordable; and processing circuitry interfacing with the image-recording device, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:\n obtain from the image-recording device a first image that represents a first shading on the object and that was generated when the object was illuminated at a first of the illumination settings; \n obtain from the image-recording device a second image that represents a second shading on the object and that was generated when the object was illuminated at a second of the illumination settings; \n process the first image and the second image, thereby identifying the first shading and the second shading; \n based on the identified first shading and second shading, detect at least one of a surface structure and a position of the object; and \n based on the detected at least one of the surface structure and position, a least one of control a restraint and output a warning.
