Abstract

A system for generating a confidence value for at least one state in the interior of a vehicle, comprising an imaging unit configured to capture at least one image of the interior of the vehicle, and a processing unit comprising a convolutional neural network, wherein the processing unit is configured to receive the at least one image from the imaging unit and to input the at least one image into the convolution-al neural network, wherein the convolutional neural network is configured to generate a respective likelihood value for each of a plurality of states in the interior of the vehicle with the likelihood value for a respective state indicating the likelihood that the respective state is present in the interior of the vehicle, and wherein the processing unit is further configured to generate a confidence value for at least one of the plurality of states in the interior of the vehicle from the likelihood values generated by the convolutional neural network.
