Using Near-Infrared Light for Driver And Occupant Monitoring
Image Credit: Radiant Vision Systems Emphasis on safety systems amidst the shift toward semi-autonomous vehicles has led to in-vehicle sensing emerging as one of the main priorities for automotive innovators. Driver distraction and drowsiness result in accidents that could be avoided with the assistance of sensing systems, which depend on visual and biometric indicators to keep hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Driver monitoring systems (DMS) and occupant monitoring systems (OMS) that utilize near-infrared light (wavelengths beyond human visual perception) supply unrestrictive, remot...
