Abstract
A computer includes a processor and a memory, the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to generate a first cropped image by applying a first cropping operation to a captured image, in which the first cropping operation is selected based on a first component to be actuated. The instructions can additionally be to apply a live person image recognition algorithm to the first cropped image to determine whether a recognized person is represented in the first cropped image and to output a signal to initiate actuation of the first component in response to the live person image recognition algorithm responsive to determining that the recognized person is in the first cropped image and is permitted to actuate the first component.
