Why Global Shutter HDR Is the Next Step for In-Cabin Cameras
As in-cabin cameras take on more responsibilities, from driver monitoring and occupant sensing to videoconferencing and user authentication, image sensors must deliver far more than high-quality pictures.
The rise of RGB-IR imaging is driving demand for High Dynamic Range (HDR) capabilities that work with global shutter technology, enabling reliable sensing in challenging lighting conditions. We spoke with Tomas Geurts, Senior R&D Director, Europe at OMNIVISION, about why HDR requirements are changing, how RGB-IR is reshaping in-cabin monitoring, and what future camera architectures will need to support the next generation of intelligent vehicle interiors.
Beyond Compliance: How Agentic AI Could Unlock the Next Generation of Occupant Monitoring
Occupant Monitoring Systems (OMS) are evolving from regulatory necessities into intelligent platforms capable of understanding occupants, context and intent.
As legal requirements and Euro NCAP establish the baseline for safety, the next wave of innovation lies in using the same sensing infrastructure to enable proactive safety, personalised assistance, comfort and more natural human-vehicle interaction. We spoke with Dr. Frederik Diederichs, Head of Perceptual User Interfaces Group at Fraunhofer IOSB, about how agentic AI, multimodal sensing and rapid prototyping tools such as AktiMeter are helping the industry explore what comes next for intelligent in-cabin systems.
