Monitoring of occupant drowsiness levels and driving distractions
Provides smart vehicle interaction, facial recognition features, etc.

Analog Devices (ADI) is partnering with Jeonggo Connectivity to develop Time-of-Flight (ToF) and 2D infrared (IR) based camera solutions for monitoring automotive drivers and the vehicle interior.
We are developing a solution that monitors drowsiness levels or factors interfering with driving by combining ADI's ToF technology with Jeonggo's CoDriver software technology to observe the position of a vehicle occupant's head and body, eye size, etc.

In addition, it provides facial recognition capabilities to enable smart vehicle interactions based on facial, body, and hand gestures, and to identify occupants within the vehicle, thereby facilitating personalized infotainment, customized services, and car-sharing payment settlements.

“The collaboration between ADI and Zenggo has opened the door to augmented reality applications beyond traditional gesture control,” said Vlad Bulavsky, Director of Automotive Connectivity and Sensing at ADI. “Through this collaboration, we will further enhance vehicle safety by taking cabin sensing to the next level, supporting ToF-based driver and passenger monitoring technology.”

3D ToF is of interest It is a scannerless LiDAR technology that uses high-power optical pulses for several nanoseconds to capture depth information in a scene.

ADI provides products and solutions that can enhance system performance, such as processing, laser drivers, and power management, as well as development boards, software, and firmware useful for implementing 3D ToF solutions.
