Abstract
Apparatuses, systems and methods are provided for generating data representative of a vehicle operation mode. More particularly, apparatuses, systems and methods are provided for generating data representative of a vehicle operation mode based on vehicle interior image data. The vehicle interior data may be representative of a three-dimensional coordinate spatial location of at least one joint of a vehicle occupant. The three-dimensional coordinate spatial location of the at least one joint of the vehicle occupant may be tracked over time.
