Synthetic Data for In-Cabin Monitoring and Virtual Validation
As in-cabin monitoring systems become more sophisticated, validating DMS, OMS and child presence detection across real-world human behaviour, sensor conditions and edge cases is becoming increasingly difficult.
Javier Salado, Product Manager at Anyverse, explains how synthetic data and simulation can support in-cabin monitoring validation, reduce the domain gap between virtual and real sensor data, and contribute to future Euro NCAP virtual assessment ahead of InCabin Europe 2026.
Iris Recognition Comes to the Cabin: Low-Resolution Breakthroughs and Multimodal Fusion
Iris recognition has long been one of the most accurate ways to confirm who a person is. Yet for decades, it stayed locked inside smartphones, border-control gates, and dedicated access terminals.
Ahead of his session at InCabin Europe, Gabriel Hine, an Iris Authentication Technology Owner at Smart Eye explains how his team moved iris recognition out of those controlled settings and into the vehicle cabin, why combining iris with face recognition beats either one alone, and what this unlocks for the car once identity can be established from cameras the vehicle already carries.
