Smart Eye AntiSleep is designed and developed to meet the requirements of the automotive industry for cost and size of each unit. The system uses a single, standard VGA resolution camera together with IR flash illuminators.
AntiSleep – pro technique
The camera and IR flashes are mounted in a compact unit but can be placed separately if required. The IR illuminators and filters are tuned to frequencies with minimum interference from outdoor light. This means the system mainly uses its own light, making it highly robust in all natural illumination conditions in automotive applications.
Fully automatic initialization
Smart Eye AntiSleep measures the driver’s head position and orientation, gaze direction and eyelid opening at a rate of 60 Hz. All delivered measurement data have confidence values based on the estimated quality of the measurements. The system detects generic and person-specific facial features and maps them to a generic 3D head model. The head model is then quickly adapted to the driver in real time. This driver initialization procedure is fully automatic and transparent to the driver.
Looks do not matter
Special effort was put into accuracy for different types of eyeglasses, particularly situations where the frames occlude parts of the eye. Reflections in the glasses are efficiently eliminated using a patented illumination technique. Smart Eye AntiSleep 2.0 is tested and adjusted for male and female drivers from a wide range of ages and ethnic groups.
