Nowadays, cars have tof cameras that can understand what is happening inside the cabin!
Keeping an eye on the cabin helps in providing safety and comfort to the driver and the passengers. It’s an affordable solution that is easy to deploy.
Seat Belt Reminder
Occupant or object? A simple pressure sensor might not exactly tell whether the weight on the seat is of an occupant or a bag. But tof camera sensors don’t have the problem. it can easily distinguish between the two so that the seat belt reminder function won’t tell a bag pack to fasten its seat belt.
Occupant Detection
tof sensor can see more than what meets the eye. It can detect vital signs of the occupants and their seating position.
There are many safety features of In-Cabin Sensing that are generating demand for this solution but the unattended child detection tops it all. It is garnering a lot of attention from automakers and consumers of late.
Fortunately, tof camera sensors can jointly classify between adults and kids. It uses height and shoulder-length to classify the occupants into different age groups.
They can also effectively detect the occupant under plastic, drywall, clothing and blankets with high accuracy. It can detect a child placed in the footwell too!
In-Cabin Sensing is a necessity in the present-day scenario. It contributes to the safety of people inside the cabin. Occupant Monitoring System can determine if children or pets are present inside the cabin or whether seat belts are being used. Hopefully we will get to see more of this technology in the coming years.
