In smart cars, reliable sensor data is the foundation of a seamless and intuitive user experience for
both drivers and passengers. However, in safety-critical applications such as driver and occupant
monitoring systems, the stakes are even higher. Here, highly accurate and robust sensor data is not
just desirable, but essential for enabling advanced safety features like smart restraint and airbag
systems, which rely on precise and reliable data.
Learn more about the benefits of 3D data and how they contribute to achieving this goal:
Firstly, the REAL3™ Time-of-Flight imager from Infineon is featuring coded modulation, a novel
approach that overcomes the limitations of traditional continuous wave Time-of-Flight solutions.
This technology eliminates unambiguity range artefacts and mitigates multi-path interference,
resulting in highly accurate, real-time 3D point clouds of the environment.
Secondly, the fusion of 3D data with high-resolution 2D data at the camera level enhances the
overall data input for in-cabin sensing systems, meeting the stringent performance and feature
requirements of future applications.
Finally, by combining such a vision-based in-cabin monitoring system with 60 GHz radar and other
sensors, a comprehensive sensor suite for the car cabin is created, providing a robust and reliable
foundation for advanced safety and comfort features.
