Mobileye® is the leading provider of advanced driver assistance technologies to the automotive industry. Founded in 1999, the company has established itself as the leader in vision systems for intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and has gained recognition from automotive companies worldwide.
Mobileye’s mission is to develop vision systems for accident reduction and driver assistance. These systems work as a “third” eye for the driver. Applications support the driver in performing several routine driving tasks (e.g., distance keeping, adaptive cruise control) and provide timely warnings (e.g., lane departure warning, forward collision warning) in dangerous situations.
Mobileye’s EyeQ™ vision-system-on-a-chip (SoC) represents a technological breakthrough that combines high performance, low cost and allows consolidation of multiple applications on a single platform it is positioned to revolutionize the implementation of driver assistance systems on a mass scale.
Mobileye supplies its technology in six production platforms to BMW, GM and Volvo including:
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
LDW + Vehicle Detection + Fusion
Driver Impairment Monitoring
Advance Warning System
LDW + Adaptive Headlight Control (AHC)+ Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
Collision Mitigation by braking with Pedestrian Recognition
Additional OEMs and Tier1 suppliers have Mobileye evaluation systems installed in vehicles for advanced development and research programs.
Additional launches in 2008 and 2009 for other product combinations are in serial development. View Delphi press release.
Mobileye is distinguished in the market by 3 key technical highlights:
1. Monocular approach - the ability to perform obstacle detection, range and relative speed measurement with a single camera.
2. A unique range of vision based DAS applications.
3. The Mobileye EyeQ™ vision-system-on a chip.
EyeQ™, Mobileye’s ASIC implementation of its vision algorithms, is a complete vision-system-on-a-chip with the equivalent computing power of two powerful Pentium computers and at a fraction of the cost. Mobileye EyeQ™ meets automotive cabin grade qualification requirements.
Mobileye's algorithms use an advanced spatio-temporal classification technique based on a novel machine learning approach that trains the system with static and dynamic visual information. The sophistication of the pattern recognition cores allows robust processing using a monocular (single camera sensor) configuration. Dual camera configurations fusing video inputs from multiple fields of view are also supported by the company's technological cores and ASIC architecture.
Mobileye® has developed the Mobileye Advance Warning System (AWS) a vision system for driver assistance for the consumer market providing lane departure warning, forward collision warning and headway monitoring / warning.
