Abstract
Example door control systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method receives image data from a camera mounted to a vehicle. The image data is analyzed by a door control system to determine whether a user is near the vehicle. If a user is identified near the vehicle, the method determines whether the user intends to open a garage door based on the image data.
