Vehicle including a compartment receivable of an object and a system for
tracking the object includes at least one imaging device each arranged to
receive an image of a portion of the compartment containing the object
and a control unit coupled to each imaging device and which controls the
imaging device to obtain a first set of images without the object and at
least one second image including the object. The control unit analyzes
the second image(s) in consideration of the first set of images to derive
information about the object. This information may be the type, size
and/or position of the object or a part thereof. The information may be
used to control vehicular components which have a variable use based on
the type, size or position of the object or part thereof.
