Device and method for detection of an object or a person in the interior of a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A method of detecting an object or a person in the interior of a motor vehicle, which comprises:
- providing an image recording unit for detecting an object or a person in the interior of the motor vehicle and an analytical unit for image data transmitted from the image recording unit;
operating the image recording unit and the analytical unit;
in a first operating mode implementing a first image processing algorithm when said analytical unit determines that an acceleration threshold value is not exceeded; and
in a second operating mode implementing a second image processing algorithm that is faster than the first image processing algorithm when said analytical unit determines that the acceleration threshold value is exceeded, the second operating mode taking over on a basis of positional data of a last measurement obtained in the first operating mode.

Abstract
The invention relates to a device (1) and method for detection of an object or a person in the interior of a motor vehicle. The device (1) is operated by means of an analytical unit (3), such that the device (1), for detecting an object or a person in the interior of a motor vehicle, comprising a image recording unit (2) and an analytical unit (3) for the image data transmitted from the image recording unit (3), is operated in a first operating mode while an acceleration threshold value is not determined to be exceeded by the analytical unit (3) and in a second operation mode while the acceleration threshold value is determined to be exceeded by the analytical unit (3).

8. A device for detecting an object or a person in an interior of a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
an image recording unit disposed to detect an object or a person in the interior of the motor vehicle; an analytical unit configured to receive data from said image recording unit; and the device being configured to be operated; in a first operating mode implementing a first image processing algorithm while a defined acceleration threshold value is determined not to be exceeded by said analytical unit; and in a second operating mode implementing a second image processing algorithm that is faster than the first image processing algorithm while the acceleration threshold value is determined to be exceeded by the analytical unit. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
