IR sensing for
automotive interior applications

With newly introduced occupant and drivers related safety standards and increasing vehicle autonomy, interior monitoring systems are becoming important for drivers, passengers, pets, and objects to detect highly defined image information in cars, both for passenger and commercial vehicles.

Driver Monitoring System - DMS -

DMS are realized by cameras
Light sources for cameras are; IR LED (2D CMOS cameras) and IR VCSEL (3D ToF cameras)

  • Stanley’s IR LED / VCSEL Line-up can support 2D/3D sensing

    2D = IR LED 3D = IR VCSEL
  • IR Camera for Driver

    • IR LED/Narrow angle (45 - 60°)
    • IR VCSEL/Narrow angle & Higher flux
  • Functions

    • Drowsy driver detection
    • Gaze tracking and distraction warning
    • Driver identification

    • AEC-Q102 Qualified
  • Support

    • Technical support (optical, electrical, thermal design, etc.)
    • Eye safety class simulati

IR LEDs of various power and angles:
can support different positions of DMS

A-pillar
Cluster meter
Center display

Product lineup; narrow distribution angle & high power IR LED and VCSEL,
being qualified with automotive specifications.

Occupant Monitoring System - OMS -

OMS are realized by cameras
Light sources for cameras are; IR LED (2D CMOS cameras) and IR VCSEL (3D ToF cameras)

  • Stanley’s IR LED / VCSEL Line-up can support 2D/3D sensing

    2D = IR LED 3D = IR VCSEL
  • IR Camera for Occupant

    • IR LED/Wide angle (120 - 150°)
    • IR VCSEL/Wider Angle & Higher flux
  • Functions

    • Child presence detection
    • Vital signs and health monitoring
    • Personalization (seat positioning, etc.)

IR LED/VCSEL for OMS (Full cabin, Driver+α)

  • Features

    • World leading - High efficiency (586mW/W)
    • Eye Safety: IEC62471(LED) / IEC60825(VCSEL)
    • AEC-Q102 Qualified
  • Support

    • Technical support (optical, electrical, thermal design, etc.)
    • Eye safety class simulati

Appropriate light source can be selected for camera (Field of View) , among wider angle IR LEDs and VCSELs.

Rearview mirror/OHC

Product lineup; wide distribution angle & high power IR LED and VCSEL,
to sense driver and occupants in full cabin.

Gesture control

Gesture control is realized by cameras.
Light sources for gesture control is; IR VCSEL

  • Stanley’s IR VCSEL Line-up can support 3D sensing

    3D = IR VCSEL
  • IR device for Driver

    •IR VCSEL/Narrow angle
  • IR device for Occupant

    •IR VCSEL/Wider Angle
  • Functions

    • Operating the information display
    • Entertainment and audio controls
    • Door/sunroof /trunk open/close control

IR VCSEL for gesture control

  • Features

    • Various distribution VCSEL Line-up( 54deg / 140deg )
    • Eye Safety: IEC60825(VCSEL)
    • AEC-Q102 Qualified
  • Support

    • Technical support (optical, electrical, thermal design, etc.)
    • Eye safety class simulation

VCSEL is suitable for gesture control because it has a faster response speed than LED and enables high-speed pulse lighting.

Product lineup; fast response speed & IR VCSEL,
being qualified with automotive specifications.
