Smart Eye AB and OMNIVISION announced their combined solution for unparalleled accuracy in automotive interior sensing. This solution will be demonstrated at AutoSens Brussels, September 12-14, 2022. The solution pairs Smart Eye's algorithms for interior sensing AI and OMNIVISION's next generation RGB-IR BSI global shutter (GS) sensor for in-cabin and occupant monitoring systems (IMS and OMS).

It provides automotive OEMs with optimal interior sensing functions that are fully compliant with General Safety Regulations (GSR) and Euro New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) requirements. OMNIVISION's GS sensor has the smallest 2.2-micron pixel and higher 940 nm near- infrared (NIR) sensitivity in its class. It offers performance, enabling single- LED designs, instead of 2 to 4 LEDs, reducing power consumption, size and cost.

Glow is also minimized due to OMNIVISION's Nyxel® NIR technology, which uses novel silicon semiconductor architectures and processes to achieve the world's high quantum efficiency for DMS of 36% at the invisible 940nm NIR light wavelength, providing the clearest driver images for use by AI software algorithms. In addition, the small pixel and a-CSPTM package further reduce camera module size. Coupled with Smart Eye's new and enhanced interior sensing algorithms, it can deliver a complete, seamless solution for automotive OEMs.
