Taking benefit of Long Wave Infra-Red bandwidth (LWIR), the project delivered a breakthrough perception systems. The project developed smart thermal perception systems that detects Long Wave Infra-Red light both for in-cabin passengers monitoring and for the car` surrounding. The outcomes improved object classification of the automotive sensor suite in all light conditions, providing redundancy and thus extend vehicle autonomy towards ADAS level 3 and beyond, operating 24/7.
OUR ROLE
With years of experience in avionics and European research projects, Next2U brought its expertise to the automotive scenario and, specifically, to the project.
The breakthrough technology developed by Next2U in the avionics field was re-designed, improved and declined into a contactless system able to assess in real time the driver’s psychophysiological state, in accordance with the incoming regulations related on third-level ADAS.
