description An apparatus ( 20 ) for determining a location of a person's head ( 90 ) includes stereo vision system ( 60 ) for imaging an area of interest such as the interior of a vehicle ( 26 ). The vision system provides an image signal of the area of interest. An analyzer ( 80 ) analyzes the image signal to identify head candidates ( 90', 210, 212, 214, 216 ) in the area of interest and provides data regarding any identified head candidates in the area of interest. A processor ( 80 ) processes the provided data regarding identified head candidates to locate the person's head. In an air bag restraining system ( 22 ), a controller ( 50 ) monitors the location of the person's head and controls an air bag ( 34 ) in response to a sensed crash condition ( 52 ) and the location of the person's head.
