Abstract

Vehicle interior object management uses analysis for detection of an object within a vehicle. The object can include a cell phone, a computing device, a briefcase, a wallet, a purse, or luggage. The object can include a child or a pet. A distance between an occupant and the object can be calculated. The object can be within a reachable distance of the occupant. Two or more images of a vehicle interior are collected using imaging devices within the vehicle. The images are analyzed to detect an object within the vehicle. The object is classified. A level of interaction is estimated between an occupant of the vehicle and the object within the vehicle. The object can be determined to have been left behind once the occupant leaves the vehicle. A control element of the vehicle is changed based on the classifying and the level of interaction.
