Abstract
A method for adjusting or controlling at least one actuator in a vehicle (1), for example an electrical servo motor (2) for a seat (3), a tripping mechanism of an airbag (4), or a display device (5) in the vehicle (1), comprising the following steps: capturing an image or a video of a preferably sitting person in the vehicle (1) through an image capturing unit (6) in 2D or 3D arranged in the vehicle (1), extracting the body data of the person through a data processing unit (7) and generation of a body data model (8) from the body data through a data processing unit (7), comparing the body data model (8) with a plurality of reference body poses (11) obtained from a database (10) through a comparator unit (9) and selecting a corresponding reference body pose (11), activating an actuator assigned to the selected reference body pose (11) with a setting of the actuator assigned to the selected reference body pose (11) through an activation unit (12).
