SYDNEY: Seeing Machines, the advanced computer vision technology company that designs AI powered operator monitoring systems to improve transport safety, has been appointed by Joyson Safety Systems (JSS) to provide its FOVIO driver monitoring technology for a US automotive OEM as it expands the rollout of their award-winning driving system across a number of additional vehicle models.
Mass production for the additional models is scheduled from 2020, and the expansion represents an initial estimated lifetime revenue of over AUD 7.0 million for Seeing Machines.
Seeing Machines now has seven OEM production programs spanning a broad range of car models across a total of six automotive OEMs globally, which are expected to deliver over AUD 150 million revenue largely in the 2021 to 2024 timeframe.
Seeing Machines’ FOVIO driver monitoring platform uses advanced machine vision technology to precisely measure and analyse head pose, eyelid movements and eye-gaze under a full spectrum of demanding lighting conditions, including through sunglasses. This data is processed to interpret driver attention state, focus, drowsiness and impairment levels to provide ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) with critical inputs in real time.
Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) technology is set to become standard technology in most modern passenger cars for improved driver and semi-automated driving safety.
Nick DiFiore, GM of Automotive at Seeing Machines, commented: “We are delighted to have further validation of our technology with this program award to extend the rollout of the FOVIO DMS across more vehicles for this major customer”.[the_ad id=”31605”]
