Abstract

An apparatus includes a capture device and a processor. The capture device may be configured to generate a plurality of video frames. The processor may be configured to perform operations to detect objects in the video frames, detect users based on the objects detected in the video frames, determine a comfort profile for the users and select a reaction to adjust vehicle components according to the comfort profile of the detected users. The comfort profile may be determined in response to characteristics of the users. The characteristics of the users may be determined by performing the operations on each of the users. The operations detect the objects by performing feature extraction based on weight values for each of a plurality of visual features that are associated with the objects extracted from the video frames. The weight values are determined by the processor analyzing training data prior to the feature extraction.
