Infineon - In-cabin sensing applications based on Infineon REAL3™ 3D image sensor family

Today’s advanced driver assistant systems (ADAS) and, perhaps in the future, autonomous cars require precise information about the driver’s focal point and what’s happening inside the vehicle. This is where 3D camera-based, in-cabin sensing applications come in. They recognize driver behavior and deliver this information to the ADAS system so it can react accordingly.
Time-of-Flight (ToF) camera technology based on Infineon’s 3D image sensor REAL3™ is sunlight robust, highly scalable, and ready for integration. The benefits of the ToF principle paired with the key features of the REAL3™ image sensor enables most accurate and reliable depth sensing in in-cable sensing applications.
