Abstract
A mobile machine includes a set of human presence sensors that comprise one or more optical sensors, one or more thermal sensors, and an additional sensor that senses a characteristic of a human. The contribution of the various sensor values generated by the sensors is determined based on environmental conditions. A human presence metric, indicative of human presence, is generated from the contributions of the various sensor signals.
