  "textContent": "A method for monitoring occupants of a vehicle comprises identifying a respective body region for one or more occupants of the vehicle within an obtained image; identifying within the body regions, skeletal points including points on an arm of a body; identifying one or more hand regions; and determining a hand region to be either a left or a right hand of an occupant in accordance with its spatial relationship with identified skeletal points of the body region of an occupant. The left or right hand region for the occupant are provided to a pair of classifiers to provide an activity classification for the occupant, a first classifier being trained with images of hands of occupants in states where objects involved are not visible and a second classifier being trained with images of occupants in the states where the objects are visible in at least one hand region.",
