DENSO Driver Monitoring System Featuring FotoNation Technology to be Showcased at the Shanghai Motor Show

FotoNation solutions to be demonstrated include face detection, head pose, eye gaze, and occlusion analytics

SAN JOSE, Calif.--()--Xperi Corporation (Nasdaq: XPER) (“Xperi”) announces that solutions featuring FotoNation’s most advanced convolutional neural network (CNN) based algorithms will be utilized and showcased by DENSO CORPORATION at the Shanghai Motor Show, April 16 – April 25, as part of its Driver Monitoring System (DMS) demonstration. DENSO’s DMS leverages advanced deep learning technology built by FotoNation, an industry leading developer of in-cabin monitoring, to provide next-generation driver monitoring solutions. FotoNation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Xperi.

“We are fully committed to building on our collaboration with DENSO to bring innovative camera-based in-cabin monitoring solutions to market,” said Jeff Jury, general manager automotive at Xperi. “Leveraging our extensive background in computer vision technologies, we look forward to continuing to develop versatile solutions that enable safer driving experiences for consumers around the world.”

DENSO CORPORATION, one of the world’s largest automotive technology, systems and components suppliers, also used FotoNation’s algorithms in its earlier DMS solution. The new generation system that will be showcased at the Shanghai Motor Show includes advanced capabilities such as face detection, head pose, eye gaze and occlusion analytics.

The sophisticated driver monitoring made possible by FotoNation and DENSO can help prevent traffic accidents by alerting the driver when the system detects the individual is distracted or falling asleep at the wheel. The technology offering provides significant flexibility, enabling customers to tailor the final product solution based on their detection requirements. FotoNation’s CNN-based algorithms are available now for automotive OEM evaluation.
