ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for controlling a seat adjustment by means of a passenger compartment camera system, with which images of at least one portion of an individual sitting on a vehicle seat are recorded, and by means of a control unit, via which at least one type of movement of the individual sitting on the vehicle seat is identified from a series of images. The identified type of movement is compared with types of movement already stored in the control unit. When a stored type of movement is identified, a seat adjustment is carried out that is assigned to this type of movement.
