Seeing Machines Ltd on Tuesday said it has launched a next-generation 3D camera designed specifically for in-cabin monitoring systems.
The Canberra, Australia-based designer of AI-powered operator monitoring systems said that, following a four-year partnership with Montreal-based tech firm Airy3D Inc, the two companies have developed a new camera that delivers 3D range data, five-megapixel RGB colour, and infrared 2D images.
The technology according to the company is ‘fully compatible with the latest 2D in-cabin software and supports precision eye-tracking across the full cabin field-of-view.’
The co-founder of Seeing Machines Timothy Edwards said that although there has been a recognition for many years to improve cabin monitoring systems through 3D sensing, high costs had restricted this to premium vehicles. However, ‘3D sensing is anticipated to become a de facto requirement for in-cabin monitoring systems,’ said Edwards.
‘Seeing Machines has explored several cost-effective 3D sensing technologies in preparation for this transition,’ he added.
Seeing Machines Chief Executive Officer Paul McGlone said: ‘We are very pleased with the steady progress of Airy3D to adapt their unique technology to meet the rigorous requirements of in-cabin systems, and we are excited to be able to offer this technology exclusively to our automotive partners.
Airy3D’s depth sensing technology offers Seeing Machines a smooth transition to a future where vision-sensors are trusted to become the primary source of in-cabin information.’
Seeing Machines shares fell by 7.3% to 2.04 pence in London on Tuesday afternoon.
