Cover Story: As advanced driver assistant systems (ADAS) become increasingly sophisticated, there is a growing need to monitor the physiological states of drivers/occupants to assist the engagement of the ADAS system. In this study, we demonstrate a scalable and low-cost in-cabin driver monitoring system using time-of-flight (ToF). The active illumination and the additional depth information from the ToF camera mitigate both the obstacles of illumination/motion artifacts in active driver physiological monitoring. Contactless, non-intrusive, passive driver monitoring may be valuable for detecting sudden sickness of the driver as well as other hazardous health conditions, such as atrial fibrillation or heart attacks.
