Image sensor improves in

ST’s VD/VB1940 automotive-grade dual image sensor monitors the entire vehicle interior covering both the driver and all passengers. While driver monitoring systems (DMS) promise greater road safety by assessing driver alertness, ST’s sensor can empower applications like child-presence detection, passenger safety-belt checks, vital-sign monitoring, gesture recognition, and video/picture recording.

The VD/VB1940 is a 5.1-Mpixel image sensor with both rolling and global shutter modes. Specifically designed to manage RGB and near-infrared (NIR) operations, the sensor outputs RGB Bayer color images on one side and full-resolution NIR images on the other side. The device captures the high dynamic range (HDR) color images needed for an occupant monitoring system, plus the high-quality NIR images typically captured by standard DMS sensors.

The VD/VB1940 captures up to 60 frames/s at full resolution and is fully configurable through an I2C serial interface. Compliant with ISO 26262 standards and ASIL-B safety levels, the part contains cybersecurity features that prevent hacking.
