A passenger protection system for a vehicle includes a vehicle sensor control system receiving input data from a plurality of vehicle sensors and from image data that corresponds to gestures presented by an occupant in the vehicle. The gesture is interpreted by a digital control sequence software to control an alert system in the vehicle used to prevent an occupant leaving a child unattended in the vehicle. The digital control sequence is configured for activating and de-activating an alert system after confirming the validity of gesture commands originating from authorized occupants. The alert system includes at least one of an audible alert and/or a visible alert and/or haptic alert that can be controlled according to the image data collected by an imaging device.

In one embodiment, a system of detecting seat belt operation in a vehicle includes at least one light source configured to emit a predetermined wavelength of light onto structures within the vehicle, wherein at least one of the structures is a passenger seat belt assembly having a pattern that reflects the predetermined wavelength at a preferred luminance. At least one 3-D time of flight camera is positioned in the vehicle to receive reflected light from the structures in the vehicle and provide images of the structures that distinguish the preferred luminance of the pattern from other structures in the vehicle. A computer processor connected to computer memory and the camera includes computer readable instructions causing the processor to reconstruct 3-D information in regard to respective images of the structures and calculate a depth measurement of the distance of the reflective pattern on the passenger seat belt assembly from the camera.
