Seeing Machines isn't just about Machine Learning. Many thought it was especially a few years back so there were many starry-eyed start ups. That's what lead up to the, 'AV is almost here' myth too.
Start with the camera and lighting - we don't make those, but we have patents in his they are implemented, to ensure they work in low sunlight while driving through trees. We don't own 940mm,but we were one of the first with a good implementation.

Finding the face and eyes in an image - you can learn it through Machine Learning, or you can download open source code to do it for you. How we do it is not patented, but we have been doing it for an awful long time and we have refined the process to be the best. Measuring the pupil position and size and the position of the glints here we are in procedural territory. Lots of maths and geometry and knowledge of eye structures allows you to measure calculate wherr the gaze is directed.
Higher order measurements these are derived over a series of measurements. The ML approach is to show tired images and awake images and let the machine guess the difference. But if you are working from the science and HF, then you are measuring eyelid opening and pupil size and gaze direction, then calculating the speed and the acceleration of them as they change you are looking at patterns of where the gaze is directed and how it reacts to events and how that changes over time.

Now validation of your measurements and how the higher order calculations tie in with years of practical research and development to ensure that you are detecting microsleeps, measuring the drivers state and quantifying deterioration in mental attention.

But, if you want to just measure eyes front, yawn, smoke,ub drink, phone and seat belt then ML is sufficient (assuming you have a large, diverse and well labelled dataset) and you can fight it out with all of the other competitors for the first generation of Chinese devices

Nokia's main business is still in mobile, but now it is the base stations and also in networking. Their main strength now is not being Huawei. So they will pick up 5G business not that would have gone to China. But now they must work with Qualcomm as they have many of the key patents in this area

Sponsored by CAE. If only they knew some company who could measure and reinforce eye scan patterns in the FFS.

JC, a plain, simple patent to prevent reversing using the screen only. I love it

Ford F-150 pillar camera

The F-150 and the Mustang Mach-E will be the first models to offer Ford’s new hands-free active drive assist system which includes an infrared camera driver monitor system to make sure you keep eyes on the road. Unlike GM’s Super Cruise which has a single camera mounted on the steering column, the F-150 has two mounted at angles to minimize the risk of both getting blinded by sunlight as was a problem with the first generation GM system at certain sun angles. On the F-150, the sensors are mounted near the driver’s side mirror and to the upper left of the center touch screen. Since the software will be released via an over the air update next summer, we couldn’t actually try this feature.

Here is the full report of the recent test that used Supercruise in a 2 year old car (so very old tech, as development frozen several years earlier) compared with Tesla and others

JC great patent. I love the way that the gaze moving to follow something moving on the mirror display is used to ensure it is not just a photo or 3d printed head trying to spoof the facial identification.

Things are getting serious when the smell detector is used to identify the state of the driver:

The in-situ sensors 1020 comprise a plurality of sensors including visual sensors, acoustic sensors, smell sensors, light sensors and the like that enable the detection of the state of the driver.

Schlem, Lewbo has tagged his retweet as #SEE

Now can we get an RMS?

I'm still posting research and analysis here first (I'm only in it for the thumbs!) you don't get the same feed back on Telegram and this site is indexed by Google, so brings in new readers. Whereas Telegram is a walled garden, even if the gate is open

Turn it off and on again fixes most problems!

Done some more digging.

Chinese text in the video says :"Multiple account management system."
Then later "Go face recognition to unlock the boot system Cadillac XT4 enjoy one step first"

£1150 add on

The 2021 XT4 has added the intuitive Face ID unlocking and starting feature, which allows the user to enjoy the ultimate keyless experience. When the user approaches the vehicle, the high-definition touchscreen on the B-pillar is activated automatically through their mobile phone's Bluetooth recognition wake-up function. With a *dual-infrared camera, infrared imaging technology* and an *adaptive flashing light*, the system can carry out all-weather face recognition *day and night, indoor and outdoor, and even in some extreme weather*, for a seamless entry experience. 
The system also incorporates other security options such as fingerprint and password unlock, which can be combined according to the user's preferences. After entering the vehicle, the user can start the vehicle without a key. In addition, the system's multi-account management function supports one administrator and seven ordinary users, making vehicle sharing more convenient.
The Face ID system is available at all Cadillac dealers for an additional RMB 10,000 and is covered by the 2021 XT4’s three-year or 100,000-kilometer warranty.

My first though was that this could be mobile phone tech. But stereo IR cameras in the front of a phone is unlikely, never mind the IR adaptive flashing lights.

In the rendering of the internals there appeared to be 3 lenses at the top in a line? artistic licence? There won't be much separation due to the constraints of where the kit is. Would have thought the brains were close by too, yet the translated text implies it works on the boot too.

I hope there are no deaths or injuries caused by this system, because they will certainly get haunted by lawyers and courts for those sorts of claims.

Super human responses - unfortunately that will be mediated by the constraints of the CANBUS and build in limitations on steering.

The US government (I forgot which part) scared the **** out of the Comma.ai team when they made similar claims. That is why they toned down their language

Terry, tried the magnifying glass, but feeling a bit nauseous watching all these "lifestyle" stories that forget that I want to see the car, not ladies making fishing flies.

Great news, and I was just about to post it too!

Hey we are talking about it now
