Method for monitoring the interior and/or exterior of a vehicle, and a vehicle having at least one survaillance camera
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring a space of a vehicle comprising:
- sensing the space using a first sensor including at least one surveillance camera so as to produce an image data;
performing an evaluation of the image data;
selecting at least one area of the space using the evaluation of the image data;
sensing the at least one area using a second alignable sensor having a restricted spatial sensing range so as to produce a second data; and
evaluating the second data.

Abstract
A method for monitoring a space of a vehicle. The method includes sensing the space using a first sensor including at least one surveillance camera so as to produce an image data, performing an evaluation of the image data, selecting at least one area of the space using the evaluation of the image data, sensing the at least one area using a second alignable sensor having a restricted spatial sensing range so as to produce a second data, and evaluating the second data. In addition, a vehicle that includes a first sensor having at least one surveillance camera disposed in an interior of the vehicle, the first sensor having a field of view at least partially covering at least one of the interior and an exterior of the vehicle, and a second alignable sensor having a restricted spatial sensing range, an alignment of the second sensor being controllable using the first sensor.
