In-cabin Sensing
For safety, the demand for in-cabin sensing is expanding in response to stricter safety tests and regulatory requirements.
For comfort, personalized user experiences are being driven by individual identification and state recognition.
Inside the cabin, occupant monitoring, face recognition, gesture control, and precise object detection work reliably under any ambient lighting conditions.
Why Nuvoton TOF?
Nuvoton's 3D sensing technology provides accurate depth maps essential for modern smart cockpits. Our Time-of-Flight sensors are designed to perform reliably under challenging lighting conditions, from bright sunlight to complete darkness, ensuring continuous monitoring of driver alertness and occupant safety.
- Pulse-ToF Technology: High ambient light immunity (up to 120k lux) and global‑shutter clarity ensure stable, blur‑free depth sensing.
- On-Chip ISP (Depth Processing): Integrated depth engine facilitates real-time data processing and low-latency measurement.
- Simultaneous Capture: Synchronized acquisition of Depth and NIR (2D) images for multi-modal sensing.
- AEC‑Q100 Grade 2 Qualification: Designed to operate reliably in demanding automotive environments.
- Functional Safety: Supports safety‑critical applications with ASIL‑B compliance.
