German R&D face recognition technology monitors driving life characteristics

With the increasing application and development of face recognition technology, the automotive industry has begun to introduce this technology into cars in recent years. For example, Chrysler and Jaguar Land Rover have released their faces in 2017. A concept car or related application that identifies technology. Recently, Germany has developed a more advanced face recognition technology that monitors the driver's vital signs through a camera device to enhance driving safety.

German R&D face recognition technology monitors driving life characteristics

According to reports, the German research institute FZI Research Center for InformaTIon Technology has demonstrated a newly developed driving life feature facial recognition technology system at CES 2018. It is reported that the system is still in the prototype stage, using embedded systems and sensing technology.

FZI is currently part of the Karlsruhe InsTItute of Technology and is a non-profit organization focused on the research of information technology and technology transfer. The mission of the organization is to provide the latest research findings in the IT field to businesses and public institutions. FZI uses the camera installed in the car to measure vital signs such as the driver's heartbeat, blink frequency, head posture and emotional state, and continuously evaluate and track relevant information. As a result, the driver's overall physiological state and image can be continuously updated, which helps to improve the interaction between the driver and the vehicle. The camera used in this research project is a ready-made, common webcam that does not have any additional sensors attached to the driver and does not require any special lighting. With innovative image and signal processing algorithms, the system automatically recognizes human facial regions, which in turn resolves the driver's mental stress and fatigue, and even displays information about the driver's attention or excitement. .

The information and data collected by the system will be used to define the driver's personal driving behavior. If you integrate with other modern driver assistance systems such as distraction warning systems or medical emergency brake assist systems, the entire driving process can be made more predictable and safer.

3D face recognition technology will complement the shortcomings of 2D recognition technology. The reason is that 3D face recognition technology does not need to rely on lighting, enabling the technology to capture higher quality images in uncontrolled environments, such as under-light or complete darkness. Therefore, 3D face recognition technology has the potential and ability to analyze, define and verify individual facial features.

The market analysis report pointed out that the growth drivers of the global face recognition market will include increasing public space monitoring and control needs, as well as the need for facial recognition technology in various industries and government units. Among them, the face recognition service demand based on the cloud will be expected to play an important role in the field of face detection and recognition in the future.

Dome Lens and Meniscus Lens

The optical dome is mainly used to protect precision instruments, and the camera is used in harsh environments. Common optical glass domes are made of H-K9L produced by Chengdu Guangming, N-K5, N-BK7, and N-BK10 produced by German Schott Company, and S-BSL7 produced by Japanese Kohara Company.

These materials have a common feature: the cost of the blank is relatively low, the optical performance is excellent, the mechanical properties of the material are better than other high-refractive materials, and the acid resistance, alkali resistance, and moisture resistance are excellent. It can be used for a long time in a complex environment and has a better protection effect. These materials have good transmittance in the spectral range of 280nm~2650nm. It can be widely used in underwater camera protection, high-definition outdoor monitoring equipment lens protection, radiation measuring instrument protection.

A meniscus lens composed of two spherical surfaces with small radius of curvature and little difference in value.
The meniscus lens is a meniscus lens. This lens has a convex mirror surface and a concave mirror surface. If the outward arc is greater than the inward arc, the lens has a positive focal length and serves as a magnifying glass. United Optical Technology provides uncoated meniscus lenses and IR2 antireflection coated meniscus lenses. Germanium (Ge) substrates are suitable for infrared applications.
