Conniro™ DMS

Thanks to the growing car connectivity, a bunch of data is being generated and shared around cars. That data enables monitoring and identification of in-cabin situations, driver state, and so on, thereby enhancing safety in driving and extending the coverage of safety-related services.

Conniro DMS, where DMS stands for driver monitoring system, is a solution that monitors the state of a driver using sensors and cameras installed in a car and provides optimized information for safe driving. It detects movement of the eyes, face, and head of the driver, refines the detected data through its core algorithm, and generates informative data about fatigue and distraction and even about what the driver may need. To improve the driving environment, the data is classified and provided in four basic categories – personalization, safety, convenience, and special functions for vehicle – and can be utilized in various formats.

The excellent performance, high accuracy and reliability, and cost efficiency of Conniro DMS have been proved in the premium automotive markets in Europe and Asia, and it will continue to evolve with enhanced technologies to provide customers with better services.

The position, direction, and rotation of the driver’s head are measured by multiple cameras within the error range of position : ±0.2 mm, rotation<0.5˚using the three-dimensional motion tracking technique.

Using the technique capable of re-producing the three-dimensional shape and movement of eyelids in real time, it recognizes and monitors the eyelid state of the driver and detects fatigue or drowsiness of the driver.

One of the core functions of Conniro DMS is gaze tracking, capable of identifying the direction where the driver is staring. By clearly distinguishing between pupil and iris, it can detect the accurate direction of the driver’s gaze. Moreover, it further enhances the accuracy by using infrared rays, instead of visible rays that may interrupt the view.

Our In-Lab and In-Car verification capabilities to guarantee highly reliable verification. To detect and measure errors due to changes in the driving environment, such as smearing light and changed viewing angle in a tunnel, and verify performance, the system is actually tested on a road. Through the test, it is verified whether the output of each algorithm is within the error tolerance, using the three-dimensional motion capture system.

Using the Conniro DMS’s cockpit simulator, you can quickly and efficiently customize various vehicle models and customer requirements. It takes time to adopt a DMS due to different specifications of each car model, such as the size or position of steering. Cockpit simulator enables configuration and test simulation according to each car’s characteristics and specifications.

Conniro DMS SDK provides interfaces for utilizing the input data (Camera, Sensor, etc.), transmitting the result data obtained by the algorithm, and logging. The modularized detection and decision algorithms, which are the core elements of the DMS technology, shorten the development time for adding or modifying functions. Besides, by only changing the module’s configuration, instead of rewriting the code, it is possible to provide optimal functions for different vehicle platforms and development requirements.
