6. A method for detecting an object on a vehicle seat, the method comprising the acts of:
-
illuminating the object by a first illumination device from a first direction;
illuminating the object by a second illumination device from a second direction;
generating a first two-dimensional representation of the object under a first illumination condition;
generating a second two-dimensional representation of the object under a second illumination condition; and
generating a three-dimensional representation of the object from the first and second two-dimensional representation. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
