Presentation

Virtual validation for interior sensing

OEMs require hundreds of drivers and hundreds of hours of data to validate Driver and Occupant Monitoring Systems (DMS/OMS). In real-world data collection campaigns this is very expensive and time consuming. Luxoft has developed a DMS/OMS Virtual Validation Toolchain to reduce both, effort and costs significantly. A critical point is to convince OEMs that the used virtual videos are photo realistic. This presentation will first show, how to answer this question and shows the advantages of virtual validation for interior sensing. Finally, a demonstration of the DMS/OMS Virtual Validation Toolchain will be given.
