The present invention provides a statistical acoustic sensing (SAS)-based method and system for in-vehicle Child Presence Detection. The SAS-based method comprises: transmitting acoustic signal to a subject in a vehicle cabin; receiving acoustic multipath signals scattered by the subject; and processing the acoustic multipath signals to detect presence of the subject by: extracting a plurality of channel impulse response (CIR) data from the received acoustic multipath signals; aggregating the extracted CIR data to estimate acoustic channel state information (CSI); obtaining an autocorrelation function (ACF) of the acoustic CSI based on a statistical acoustic sensing (SAS) model; and performing motion detection and breath tracking on basis of the ACF to detect presence of the subject in the vehicle cabin. The present invention can leverage in-car audio systems to detect presence of young children including newborns in an accurate and responsive manner.
