'Meanwhile, On Semi stressed that driver and occupant monitoring applications require “the ability to capture images in variable lighting from direct sunlight to pitch black conditions.” It claimed that with its good NIR response, “the RGB-IR CMOS image sensor technology provides full HD 1080p output using a 3.0 µm backside illuminated (BSI) and three-exposure HDR.” Sensitive to both RGB and IR light, the sensors can capture color images in daylight and monochrome IR images with NIR illumination.
Going beyond driver monitoring system (DMS)
Alaoui boasted that Eyeris’ AI software can perform complex body and facial analytics, passenger activity monitoring and object detection. Beyond driver monitoring, “We look at everything inside a car, including surfaces [of seats] and steering wheels,” he added, stressing that the startup has gone above and beyond what Seeing Machines already accomplished.
Laurent Emmerich, director, European customer solutions at Seeing Machines, however, begged to differ. “Going beyond monitoring a driver and covering more inside a vehicle is a natural evolution,” he said. “We, too, are on track.”
Compared to startups, Seeing Machines’ edge lies in “our solid foundation in computer vision with AI expertise built over the last 20 years,” he added. Currently, the company’s driver monitoring system is adopted by “six carmakers and designed into nine programs.”
Further, Seeing Machines noted that it has also developed its own hardware — Fovio driver monitoring chip. Asked if the chip can also serve future in-vehicle monitoring systems, Emmerich explained that the IP of its chip will be applied to a configurable hardware platform.'
