Today’s automotive technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate. User experience and satisfaction plays a critical role in automotive system development, especially regarding in-cabin system requirements. Due to this, vehicle imaging systems are moving away from the narrow field of view driver monitoring system towards a wider Field of View (FoV) to capture the entire cabin (occupant & back seat). This means combing the mandatory Driver Monitoring System (DMS) with more modern user experiences such as occupant identification and video surveillance, in one single sensor that reduces cost and impact on interior design.

In this session we will discuss how advanced freeform lens with smart pixel management maximise the resolution on the driver while capturing the entire cabin in varying lighting conditions. We will show how advanced image processing algorithms including dewarping deliver the best pixels for either human or computer vision to maximize the application efficiency.
