A system for detecting occupants of a vehicle includes memory hardware configured to store instructions and processor hardware configured to execute the instructions. The instructions include, based on an outcome of a first set of criteria, associating image data with a first set of scores. The first set of scores includes a first score and a second score. The instructions include, based on an outcome of a second set of criteria, associating the data with a second set of scores. The instructions include combining the first set of scores and the second set of scores, including determining a first metric and determining a second metric. The instructions include comparing the first metric and the second metric. The instructions include, in response to a determination that the first metric is greater than the second metric, organizing the data into a first category and activating an airbag of the vehicle.
