Systems and methods of adjustable component management for a vehicle

A method for managing adjustments for a component of a vehicle, comprising:

• mapping a three-dimensional space of an interior of the vehicle and/or a region exterior to the vehicle using one or more time-of-flight sensors;
• generating, via the one or more time-of-flight sensors, a point cloud representing a compartment of the vehicle, the point cloud including three-dimensional positional information about the compartment;
• detecting, via processing circuitry in communication with the one or more time-of-flight sensors, an occupant in a seat of the vehicle based on the point cloud;
• directing at least one additional sensor toward the three-dimensional space to generate an additional point cloud from a viewing angle different than field-of-views of the one or more time-of-flight sensors already existing on the vehicle, wherein the at least one additional sensor comprises a mobile smart device which is separate from the vehicle and includes at least one LiDAR module, the mobile smart device being directable toward the three-dimensional space by a user;
• comparing point clouds generated by the one or more time-of-flight sensors to the additional point cloud to generate a more expansive or more accurate point cloud of a mapped three-dimensional space and provide an updated point cloud;
• defining a first portion of the updated point cloud corresponding to the occupant and a second portion of the updated point cloud corresponding to the seat of the vehicle;
• calculating, via the processing circuitry, a volume of the occupant based on the first portion of the updated point cloud;
• estimating a bodyweight of the occupant based on the volume;
• and communicating, via the processing circuitry, an instruction to adjust the component of the vehicle via at least one actuator in response to an estimation of the bodyweight.

A system for managing adjustments for a component of a vehicle, comprising:

• one or more time-of-flight sensors configured to map a three-dimensional space of an interior of the vehicle and/or a region exterior to the vehicle, wherein the one or more time-of-flight sensors are further configured to generate a point cloud representing a compartment of the vehicle, the point cloud including three-dimensional positional information about the compartment;
• at least one additional sensor that is directable by a user toward the three-dimensional space to generate an additional point cloud from a viewing angle different than field-of-views of the one or more time-of-flight sensors already existing on the vehicle, wherein the at least one additional sensor comprises a mobile smart device which is separate from the vehicle and includes at least one LiDAR module, the mobile smart device being directable by a user;
• comparing point clouds generated by the one or more time-of-flight sensors to the additional point cloud to generate a more expansive or more accurate point cloud of a mapped three-dimensional space and provide an updated point cloud;
• at least one actuator configured to adjust the component of the vehicle;
• processing circuitry in communication with the one or more time-of-flight sensors, the at least one additional sensor, and the at least one actuator;
• and
• a database in communication with the processing circuitry, the database including skeleton model data, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
• define a skeleton model for an occupant based on the updated point cloud and the skeleton model data;
• detect the occupant in a seat of the vehicle based on the updated point cloud;
• define a first portion of the updated point cloud corresponding to the occupant and a second portion of the updated point cloud corresponding to the seat of the vehicle;
• calculate a volume of the occupant based on the first portion of the updated point cloud and the skeleton model data;
• estimate a bodyweight of the occupant based on the volume;
• and
• communicate an instruction to adjust the component of the vehicle in response to an estimation of the bodyweight.
