smart eye encompasses a family of novel sensors which are used e.g. for traffic data acquisition, people counting and industrial automation.

The technology underlying the smart eye sensors is based on newly developed, bio-inspired CMOS vision chips: Signal pre-processing is implemented on each pixel, which significantly reduces data rates and accelerates the entire analysis process. The independently acting pixels enable very high time resolutions, operation across a wide range of brightness and extremely high processing speeds at low costs.

smart eye TDS – Traffic Data Sensor
smart eye UCOS – Universal Counting Sensor
smart eye IVS – Industrial Vision Sensor

Various patented chip designs and signal processing methods are available. Based on these technologies, our engineers develop innovative solutions with competitive features for our industry partners. Practical application areas for our smart eye technologies include:

• Traffic safety (traffic flow acquisition, detection of critical situations, traffic control)
• Automotive driver assistance systems (collision warning, stay in lane assistant, intelligent rear-view mirror)
• Public safety (people detection and counting)
• Building automation (people detection and counting)
• Shopping centers - retail (people counting, area counting, customer flow analysis)
• Assisted living (presence and fall detection, recognition of critical situations)
• Robotics (obstacle detection, navigation support)
• Industrial automation (2D and 3D high-speed measurements, real-time shape recognition, position control)

Successful products for the market are developed from competitive new technologies through cooperation with industry partners.
