Ams Osram with new vehicle interior monitoring
"Automotive OEMs are continually looking for ways to simplify system designs and reduce the number of components. By integrating an eye safety lock into the VCSEL lighting module, ams OSRAM has found a new way to provide added value to automotive customers. This not only reduces the number of components but also increases reliability while providing the highest level of optical performance," said Firat Sarialtun, Global Segment Manager for In-Cabin Sensing at ams OSRAM.
ams OSRAM's VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) food illuminator from the TARA2000-AUT family was selected for the new, improved version of the EVK75027 iToF sensing kit because it features an integrated eye safety lock. This enables a more compact, reliable and faster system implementation than other VCSEL flood illuminators that require external photodiode and processing circuitry. The evaluation kit provides a full hardware implementation of iToF depth measurement, enabling automotive OEMs to run software for interior monitoring systems such as human detection and gesture sensing.
