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.
