MulticoreWare joins forces with Melexis for an AI algorithm development. They developed face understanding algorithm modules such as face detection, face recognition, drowsiness/distraction detection and anti-spoofing detection using a Melexis EVK75027 ToF sensor. MulticoreWare enhanced the internal data annotation tool by utilizing distance images to label precise face key points.
Using this information, a custom annotated dataset was created and used to train neural networks for face identification and recognition. The system is able to operate accurately and reliably in diverse illumination settings. The partnership demonstrates the effectiveness of AI using ToF cameras to achieve robust performance for a wide range of in-cabin applications such as driver authentication, drowsiness detection, driver attentiveness, etc.
Melexis N.V. specializes in the design and marketing of semi-conductors intended primarily for automotive equipment manufacturers. The group's activity is primarily organized around 4 families of products:
- sensors: primarily circuits for interfaces, pressure and acceleration measurement, and magnetic sensors;
- actuator: micro-controllers and peripheral integrated circuits used for dashboard indicators, windshield wipers, automatic door openers, etc.;
- radiofrequency circuits: transmitters, receivers, automatic identification systems, etc.;
- multiplexing circuits: optical and infrared circuits.
At the end of 2023, the group had 5 manufacturing sites located in Belgium, Germany, France, Bulgaria and Malaysia.
Net sales are distributed geographically as follows: Germany (12.6%), Switzerland (2.7%), Romania (2.6%), France (2.2%), Italy (1.8%), Austria (1.6%), Hungary (1.1%), the United Kingdom (0.3%), Spain (0.3%), Europe/Middle East/Africa (6%), China (15.5%), Hong Kong (9.5%), Japan (8.2%), Thailand (7.7%), South Korea (7%), Asia (10%), the United States (5.8%), Mexico (2.9%) and Americas (2.2%).
