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.
