Overview
Seeing Machines exists to get people home safely by developing and commercialising driver monitoring system technology and products applying eye and face tracking technologies. Data collection captures video, audio and subject metadata (i.e., eye features, age, height, ethnicity etc) to support the development and improvement of our technologies and products. We use real human subjects to train our algorithms and develop the most precise machine-learned solution.
In-vehicle false positive detection study:
As the participant, you will occupy the driver’s seat of a test vehicle equipped with cameras and data capture devices and perform various tasks as instructed by the data collector. You will drive the test vehicle during the data collection which will be carried out on Urban and Highway roads. There will be two recordings that will be collected during the data collection.
The subject will also be asked to wear different eyewear provided by the team for data collection.
The data collector will be with the subject in the test vehicle during the entirety of the data collection session.
Below, you will find a comprehensive breakdown of each session:
· Duration: 10 minutes.
