How Will Driver and Cabin Monitoring be Used in the Future?
“The eyes are the windows to the soul,” says Nick DiFiore, SVP and GM Automotive at Seeing Machines, a company that develops computer vision related technologies. “They are also the window to what is going on in a head.”
Seeing Machines’ DMS is employed in GM’s Super Cruise, for the car to know the driver is paying attention to the road and ready to take over the vehicle.
The next level for DMS is to fuse it with ADAS functions, says DiFiore. With ADAS fusion the car can compensate for what the driver doesn’t see – the system learns that a driver is not looking ahead but ADAS detects that there is a vehicle in front or stop sign.
Then an ADAS function such as automatic braking can be activated.
“Currently, DMS can detect gender, age, a thousand points on a face—identify if the driver is a teenager or an elderly person. Eventually, when we take the driver out of the equation, the next generation monitoring will be detecting cognitive load and emotional states,” says Aaron Thompson, Senior Director Platform Development, BU ADAS/AD at HARMAN International.
He says the next development in driver state monitoring is a holistic understanding of driver and occupant monitoring.
“When we get to autonomy, that’s when we really need to understand what’s going on with the cabin and the driver,” says Thompson. “That is what the industry (automakers, universities and algorithm suppliers) is pushing for.”
