Event-based vision is a paradigm shift from traditional frame-based approaches. It doesn’t capture entire images at once but instead detects changes in brightness, known as “events,” at each pixel. This makes sensors much faster (responding in microseconds), able to operate with much less data and processing power, and be more power-efficient than traditional sensors.

“This launch makes our pioneering approach available to a highly engaged global developer base that’s already pushing the boundaries of embedded and edge applications. With the GenX320 Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi 5, we’re making event-based vision more open, easy, and accessible than ever before,” said Luca Verre, co-founder and CEO of Prophesee.

Xperi Develops World-first In-cabin Monitoring Technologies on
Neuromorphic Vision Systems

New sensing technologies complement standard vision system capabilities, enhancing occupant safety, enabling increased personalization, advancing today’s in-cabin experience to tomorrow’s third space experience

With more than 20 years of world-leading experience in neural solutions and computer vision, and with billions of products powered by their solutions, the Xperi team maps and adapts in-cabin monitoring (ICM) technologies to existing and future sensor centric trends.?

“Intelligent sensing is required by the next-generation in-cabin experience. The critical path to this is a sensor fusion-focused advanced research strategy,” said Petronel Bigioi, chief technology officer, Xperi. “DTS AutoSense’s advanced research team is centered on state-of-the-art sensing solutions and neuromorphic sensing is one of the technologies that can shape the future of the industry.”

The neuromorphic sensors capture information at an equivalent frame rate of 10,000 frames per second without requiring active illumination. This enables better low light performance for driver monitoring features as well as never seen before capabilities such as saccadic eye movement or micro-expressions, crucial next steps in the next-generation in-cabin experiences.

Xperi’s implementation has 12 patents pending and relies on an end-to-end data generation and training system built to address the particularities of the sensor. The training data set was generated based on Xperi’s extensive computer vision infrastructure, reusing ground-truth from the visible and near infrared spectrums, synthesizing a completely novel approach in neuromorphic based sensing.???

“Being able to instantaneously detect the subtlest, almost imperceptible, face and eye motions can be lifesaving,” said Petronel Bigioi. “The low light powerful vision processing capabilities, fast response times and low power operation that this pioneering neuromorphic-based technology application enables makes it ideal for the safety-critical applications of driver monitoring systems, while also broadening the ability to further enhance and personalize the vehicle cabin.”

In addition to excellent low light performance and robustness to various illumination conditions, neuromorphic sensing addresses head-on the privacy aspect specific to traditional imaging-based sensing (always-on cameras).

“DTS AutoSense’s innovative AI-enabled approach underscores the ability of Prophesee’s sensor solution to provide OEMs with an effective safety enhancement for vehicles of all types,” said Marc Rousseau, VP Products and Business Development at Prophesee. “We are delighted to collaborate on this first-of-its-kind technology with Xperi DTS and its forward-thinking, high caliber team.”

*DTS AutoSense comprises a Driver Monitoring Solution (DMS) and an Occupancy Monitoring Solution (OMS), the first to be designed into passenger vehicles projected to be on the road in 2021. Working together they provide actionable insights into activity inside the vehicle, including the driver, passengers, pets and objects, to create a better, safer experience.
