IR-LED Detects Drivers in Microsleep

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
MUNICH, Germany, Oct. 21, 2010 — A new infrared light-emitting diode (IR-LED) is being used to help recognize microsleep episodes in motorists. This new fatigue detection system requires a camera with a CMOS sensor that detects IR light at a wavelength of 850 nm, which isn’t visible to the human eye, and analyzes the image of the driver that is captured by the camera. This process all takes place unnoticed by the driver – even at night. A new infrared light-emitting diode (IR-LED) from the Siemens subsidiary Osram Opto Semiconductors is designed to help recognize the hazardous microsleep that affects...Read full article
