Abstract
We describe a system architecture for an intelligent airbag deployment inside vehicles. Using image sequences acquired from a stereo camera, we detect the form and position of the driver and passenger seat. If a seat is classified as occupied by any object we try to estimate the geometry and location of the human´s head as the most distinguishing feature of the body, if it is possible. The information about the seat occupation and the location of detected passengers inside the vehicle can be used as control parameters for an intelligent airbag deployment
