Abstract
A computer is programmed to identify first and second regions of an image representing a seatbelt, actuate an output device to deliver a first output upon detecting an absence of the seatbelt in the first region and in the second region, and actuate the output device to deliver a second output upon detecting an absence of the seatbelt in the first region and a presence of the seatbelt in the second region.
Claims20
A system comprising a computer, the computer programmed to:
- identify first and second regions of a seatbelt image;
- actuate an output device to deliver a first output upon detecting an absence of a seatbelt in the first region and in the second region;
- and
- actuate the output device to deliver a second output upon detecting an absence of the seatbelt in the first region and a presence of the seatbelt in the second region.
