Systems and methods are provided for detecting an occupant within a vehicle. An image of a vehicle interior, containing depth information for a plurality of image pixels, is generated at an image sensor ( 110 ). The vehicle interior is divided into at least one blob of contiguous pixels ( 160 ). The at least one blob is divided into a series of layers ( 170 ) wherein each successive layer represents a range of depth within the image. It is determined if the at least one blob represents an occupant according to at least one characteristic of the series of layers ( 190 ).
