ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are provided for editing an image of a vehicle interior to isolate the occupant of a vehicle seat. An image generator (102) generates an image of a vehicle interior. A contour generator (104) produces a contour image from the generated image. A model selector (106) selects a contour model from a plurality of contour models according to the similarity of the contour model to a portion of the contour image. An image editor (108) removes a portion of the generated image representing at least a portion of the vehicle seat according to the selected contour model to produce an image of an occupant of the vehicle seat.
