September 18, 2019 — ON Semiconductor, which promotes energy-efficient innovation, will demonstrate a complete in-cabin monitoring system with driver monitoring and occupant monitoring at the AutoSens conference in Brussels, Belgium.

This demonstration includes a variety of sensor types from ON Semiconductor - the megapixel (MP) global shutter AR0144AT image sensor and three 2.3 megapixel red, green and blue-infrared (RGB-IR) image sensors. The multi-camera system uses Ambarella's CV2AQ system-on-a-chip (SoC) for real-time high-quality RGB-IR video and integrates Eyerid's AI software for complex body and face analysis, passenger activity monitoring and object detection.

Driver and occupant monitoring applications require the ability to capture images from direct sunlight to dark, variable lighting conditions. RGB-IR CMOS image sensor technology features excellent near-infrared (NIR) sensitivity, 3.0 μm back-illuminated (BSI) and triple exposure high dynamic range (HDR) for full HD 1080p output. These sensors are sensitive to both RGB and infrared (IR) light, capturing color images during the day and capturing black and white IR images with NIR illumination.

Ross Jatou, vice president and general manager of ON Semiconductor's Automotive Perceptions Division, said: "The important safety systems and convenience features such as child in-situ detection are the next generation of features that customers are currently developing. Our extensive lineup of automotive sensors is designed for automotive applications. These capabilities are also available. In addition, the strong collaboration of sensors, processors and software companies is critical to optimizing the performance and time-to-market of these in-vehicle systems. We are pleased to work with industry pioneers such as Ambarella and Eyeris to showcase these advanced ability."

Chris Day, vice president of marketing at Ambarella, said: "Working with ON Semiconductor and Eyeris to achieve this demonstration is a model for companies to drive innovation in the automotive industry with industry-leading technology. Our CV2AQ SoC combines a proprietary CVflow® DNN engine and High-performance image processing. With ON Semiconductor's extensive in-cabin sensor lineup and Eyeris's understanding of AI, we are able to implement a system to meet the industry's growing demand for vision-based in-cabin solutions."

Eyeris CEO (CEO) Modar Alaoui said: "Eyeris has an advanced and extensive line of vision-based deep neural network (DNN) for in-vehicle scenario understanding applications. Based on the Ambarella CV2AQ CVflow® engine, the high performance of ON Semiconductor Sensors, our three companies are able to implement this groundbreaking in-cabin system."
