Your Car Can Now See You in the Dark: Leading Face Tracking Provider Enters Driver Monitoring Market

LINKÖPING, Sweden - Nov. 4, 2021 - PRLog -- Sweden-based computer vision company Visage Technologies released the much-anticipated automotive edition of their face tracking software. This marks the company's official entry into the driver monitoring market, following the long-term collaboration with major automotive clients.

Driver monitoring systems (DMS) that monitor the driver and alert them when a distraction event is detected are on their way to becoming mandatory in vehicles worldwide. Visage Technologies aims to power such systems with comprehensive, real-time face data, allowing them to "see" the driver at all times.

Their technology tracks drivers' head pose, eye gaze direction, eye openness, facial expressions, and more. It successfully tackles even the most challenging conditions such as poor lighting, reflections, face occlusions (protective masks, beards, glasses, etc.), and extreme head rotations.

Besides tracking the driver's face, Visage Technologies' software can also estimate their age and gender, monitor emotions, and even verify the driver's identity. This helps introduce an additional layer of safety and create personalized driver profiles.

"In-cabin monitoring comes with a lot of technical challenges, but also serves for the meaningful purpose: keeping people safer in traffic. Therefore, we consider it as a perfect match for our long-term expertise in computer vision and our culture of constant learning, improving, and helping others," says Visage Technologies CEO Gordan Kreković.

Founded in 2002, Visage Technologies continues developing advanced computer vision technology that helps enable the unimaginable. Now, the company is set to help make the road to automated driving safer and faster with cutting-edge driver monitoring technology.
