Abstract
An assembly includes a base member having a fiducial marker, a vehicle component having a housing mounted to the base member, and an image sensor fixed to the housing and aimed at the fiducial marker. A method includes mounting the vehicle component to the base member of a vehicle, capturing a baseline image of the fiducial marker, capturing a subsequent image of the fiducial marker, comparing the subsequent image to the baseline image, and adjusting operation of the vehicle component in response to the identification of differences between the baseline image and the subsequent image.
