Occupant Detection System

The purpose of the ODS (Occupant Detection System) project is to develop a car safety camera system that is able to discriminate human occupants in order to activate safety features depending on the human size. In order to discriminate the size of an occupant anthropometric measurements need to be performed. A literature study was done to investigate the possibility of anthropometric measurements of human height and weight with a Kinect Windows v2in order to activate safety sensor for dicrimination of occupants inside a vehicle. The goal was to find valid anthropometric methods for determination of the human height and weight from landmarks on the upper body, then test if its possible to perform these methods with the Kinect v2 sensor.
