Abstract
A method includes obtaining an image from one or more imaging devices disposed in the interior of the vehicle, modifying the image based on a color conversion routine to generate a source image, generating a conformity value based on a comparison between the source image and a template image corresponding to the interior of the vehicle, where the conformity value is a cross-correlation value, a normalized cross-correlation value, a sum-of-squared difference value, or a combination thereof, and determining a presence of a defect based on the conformity value.
