Smart Eye and OmniVision Announce End-to-End Interior Sensing Solution

Smart Eye AB and OmniVision Technologies, Inc. jointly announced a full Interior Sensing solution for automotive OEMs that enables complete driver and cabin monitoring with videoconferencing applications from a single RGB-IR sensor. 

According to the company, the solution is the first integrated video processing chain, which combines features based on the OmniVision OV2312 RGB-IR sensor, supporting day and night performance.  

Smart Eye’s AI-based eye, mouth, and head tracking technology provides EuroNCAP performance linked with full cabin monitoring and driver monitoring, featuring distraction, drowsiness and incapacitated driver detection, combined with driver identification and spoof-proof processing. The cabin monitoring also includes occupancy detection for all seats, combined with out of position, seat belt status, and forgotten baby detection. The action detection allows an understanding of occupant actions like driver hands on steering wheel, interaction with mobile device, calling, drinking, and eating. These actions may have an impact on the interaction between the vehicle and the occupant and will be a pre-requisite for higher levels of vehicle autonomy.
