Cabin Sensing

Driver and Cabin Monitoring is becoming a key safety function for almost every car and is supporting more and more features for the life-on-board. AUMOVIO has developed SW solutions for interior sensing which already meet future safety standards and further increase vehicle comfort.

In the Cabin Sensing Solution, AUMOVIO combines many years of expertise in all aspects of interior sensing for human-machine interaction with extensive know-how in interior cameras, radar sensor technology, sensing algorithms, and validation tools. With real-time object monitoring of the entire vehicle interior, AUMOVIO's solution can reliably detect objects in the vehicle, whether they are adults, children, animals or physical items.

The solution is compatible with different HW components and platforms (cameras, High-Performance Computers) and meets future safety regulations of the European Commission and the consumer protection organization European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP).

AUMOVIO's Cabin Sensing SW portfolio comprises the following functions:

• Driver Monitoring
• Cabin Monitoring
• Sensor Fusion
• Cabin Sensing Validation

The Cabin Monitoring function extends the Driver Monitoring functionality by covering not only the driver but also enabling the detection of passengers and physical items throughout the complete cabin interior.

• Body pose (used for airbag ignition)
• Child-presence detection
• Classification
• Height estimation
• Weight estimation
• Object detection
• Occupant-presence detection
• Seat-belt detection

• Gesture detection
• Hand tracking
• Online calibration
• Pet detection

In the Cabin Sensing solution, AUMOVIO combines many years of expertise in all aspects of interior sensing for human-machine interaction with extensive know-how in interior cameras, radar sensor technology, sensing algorithms, and validation tools.

Building upon this extensive experience, AUMOVIO is able to offer a extensive range of tools and services when it comes to validation and verification of the software and the overall solution. Only by ensuring high recognition rates and a high overall solution reliability level can the safety of the driver and passengers be assured.

AUMOVIO's Cabin Sensing Validation tools and services portfolio comprises the following tools and services:

• Cloud-based algorithm performance validation
• »MetaSepia« – web service for synthetic-data generation

In the area of cloud-based algorithm performance validation, AUMOVIO can provide an extensive suite of solutions and services, such as

• a scalable cloud-based infrastructure, accessible from anywhere in the world, to process and handle big data, providing fast availability of test results,
• several thousand hours of existing recordings, the necessary infrastructure to create new recordings, and the possibility to extend with synthetic data where applicable, all to effectively validate and train the Driver- and Cabin-Monitoring algorithms,
• a number of cloud-based debug and investigation tools, used to look for any anomalies in the performance of the algorithms, with highly detailed KPI reports clearly depicting the performance of the algorithms,
• high-accuracy Ground Truth systems,
• HIL (HW-In-the-Loop) and SIL (SW-In-the-Loop) test systems,

all of which together with test services can be bundled into an end-to-end Validation-as-a-Service (VaaS) package if required.
