Eyeris on Integrationof Global-Shutter Sensor
Solution for Automotive In-Cabin Monitoring
Combines ST’s industry-leading RGB-IR
Global-Shutter sensor technology with Eyeris’ AI-based portfolio of
Deep Neural Networks to advance automotive safety and comfort
Geneva, Switzerland and Palo Alto, CA, June
30, 2021--
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of
electronics applications, today announced a cooperation with
Eyeris, a world leader in vision-based Artificial Intelligence (AI)
software and in-cabin sensor fusion technologies. The collaboration
focuses on extending ST’s Global-Shutter sensor to in-cabin sensing
applications with Eyeris’ advanced portfolio of Deep Neural
Networks for a comprehensive visuospatial understanding of the
entire vehicle interior. This advanced perception supports safety
and convenience features including Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS),
Occupant Monitoring Systems (OMS), child presence detection, object
recognition, gesture control, and activity prediction.
ST’s 2.3 Megapixel VG5761 Global-Shutter sensor features high
linear dynamic range of up to 98 dB for sharp, crisp images. The
sensor can capture images inside a vehicle under all lighting and
environmental conditions. Combined with Eyeris’ in-cabin sensing
technology, the sensor can be used for Eyeris’ DMS with accurate
eye-gaze tracking, especially from non-frontal camera locations
such as rearview mirror, overhead console, and center stack areas.
In parallel, the sensor also enables Eyeris’ OMS with accurate
tracking of body key-points, height, width, size, posture,
movements, and orientation. Furthermore, the ST sensor enables
Eyeris for accurate child presence detection, and recognition of
common vehicle interior objects under the widest range of lighting
conditions. The technological integration from ST and Eyeris
delivers substantial in-cabin safety, comfort, and convenience
benefits for all occupants.
“ST is committed to making vehicles and e-mobility safer and
working with Eyeris on their in-cabin sensing AI using our
Global-Shutter imaging technology is a valuable example of what top
innovators focused on an important challenge can do,” said
Dominique Barbier, Head of U.S. Technical Marketing, Imaging
Division, STMicroelectronics.
The VG5761 Global-Shutter image sensor offers two memory zones
that allow double-image storage which, in addition to contributing
to the high dynamic range, supports background removal without lag
effects and additional processing by the host system. In its RGB-IR
version, ST’s image sensor uses high MTFs (Modulation Transfer
Functions) at near-infrared (IR) wavelengths as well as through the
RGB channel to monitor the full in-cabin scene under a broad range
of lighting environments while featuring the capability to
accurately analyze interior safety-critical Regions Of Interest
(ROIs) with great detail – like the driver’s eyes and the
occupants’ body key-points -- to detect the earliest signs of
driver drowsiness or distraction and occupants’ body posture. The
sensor’s high-performance capability combined with Eyeris’ AI-based
algorithms help automakers personalize restraint controls and
passive vehicle safety systems.
“In combining Eyeris’ portfolio of Deep Neural Networks with
ST’s Global-Shutter imaging technology, we’ve assembled a
state-of-the-art solution for in-cabin sensing and a useful
template for the industry towards advancing cockpit safety and
comfort,” said Modar Alaoui, founder and CEO, Eyeris.
Since 1999, ST has been an industry leader in the design and
manufacture of imaging sensors. The current product portfolio
covers the spectrum of specialized image sensors encompassing
entry-level VGA to several-Megapixel sensors. ST provides a wide
range of optical sensing solutions and continues to enhance its
customers’ products with CMOS image sensors, Time-of-Flight
solutions, Ambient Light Sensors, and CIS foundry services.
Mastering all aspects of the imaging chain, ST is well placed to
offer both standard products and custom design services to key
customers and has demonstrated success with several custom sensors,
embedded ISPs, and optical modules already on the market.
