This document proposes a vision-based method to detect and classify occupants inside an unattended vehicle using face recognition and motion-based classification. The system uses a camera mounted inside the vehicle to detect occupants in real-time at 30 frames per second with high accuracy under different lighting and weather conditions. It detects occupants in two steps - first detecting objects using background subtraction, then classifying objects as human or non-human using motion-based classification. The system aims to improve safety and comfort by monitoring occupants for applications like airbag deployment and climate control.
