Abstract

A restraint verification platform may obtain video data video data of a passenger in a passenger seat. The restraint verification platform may analyze the video data using one or more machine learning models trained to detect passengers in passenger seats and passenger restraints of the passenger seats. The restraint verification platform may detect, using the one or more machine learning models and based on analyzing the video data, the passenger in the passenger seat and a passenger restraint of the passenger seat. The restraint verification platform may determine, based on analyzing the video data, that the passenger restraint is not properly securing the passenger. The restraint verification platform may perform an action based on determining that the passenger restraint is not properly securing the passenger.

Background

BACKGROUND

Passenger restraints are safety devices used to safely secure passengers within seats of vehicles. For example, in the automotive industry, a seat belt is used to safely secure a driver or a passenger within a seat of an automobile. Similarly, in the airline industry, a seat belt is used to safely secure a pilot or a passenger within a seat of an airline. Passenger restraints may be adjusted to accommodate passengers of different sizes. SUMMARY

A method performed by a restraint verification platform, the method comprising: obtaining video data of a passenger in a passenger seat of a passenger vehicle; analyzing the video data using one or more machine learning models trained to detect passengers in passenger seats and passenger restraints of the passenger seats; detecting, using the one or more machine learning models and based on analyzing the video data, that the passenger is in the passenger seat and a passenger restraint of the passenger seat; determining, based on analyzing the video data, that the passenger restraint is not properly securing the passenger; and performing an action based on determining that the passenger restraint is not properly securing the passenger.

A system comprising: one or more camera devices configured to obtain video data of a passenger in a passenger seat of a passenger vehicle; and a restraint verification platform is configured to: obtain the video data; analyze the video data using one or more machine learnin

Claims

1. A method performed by a restraint verification platform, the method comprising: obtaining video data of a passenger in a passenger seat; analyzing the video data using one or more machine learning models trained to detect passengers in passenger seats and passenger restraints of the passenger seats; detecting, using the one or more machine learning models and based on analyzing the video data, that the passenger is in the passenger seat and a passenger restraint of the passenger seat; determining, based on analyzing the video data, that the passenger restraint is not properly securing the passenger; and performing an action based on determining that the passenger restraint is not properly securing the passenger. || 8. A system, comprising: one or more camera devices configured to obtain video data of a passenger in a passenger seat of a passenger vehicle; and a restraint verification platform is configured to: obtain the video data; analyze the video data using one or more machine learning models trained to detect passengers in passenger seats and passenger restraints of the passenger seats; detect, using the one or more machine learning models and based on analyzing the video data, the passenger in the passenger seat and a passenger restraint of the passenger seat; determine, based on analyzing the video data, that the passenger restraint is not properly securing the passenger; and perform an action based on determining that the passenger restraint is not properly securing the passenger. || 15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising: one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to: obtain video data of a passenger in a passenger seat; analyze the video data using one or more machine learning models trained to detect passengers in passenger seats and passenger restraints of the passenger seats; detect, using the one or more machine learning models and based on analyzing the video data, the passenger in the passenger seat and a passenger restraint of the passenger seat; determine, based on analyzing the video data, that the passenger restraint is not properly securing the passenger; and perform an action based on determining that the passenger restraint is not properly securing the passenger.
