Contactless Driver State Detection with SHORE®

According to a study by ABI Research, driver observation cameras, with a forecast of 17.5 million units sold in 2026, are considered key technology for the driver condition recognition systems and semi-autonomous driving required by EU regulation from 2024.


This is exactly where SHORE® comes in.


The SHORE® software library provides camera-based data on the condition of the driver and other passengers, which supports the safety aspect and can also positively improve well-being in the vehicle.

SHORE® records both the basic emotions (happy, angry, sad, surprised, frightened, disgusted, neutral) and the valence, i.e. whether the predominant emotion is positive or negative. In addition, SHORE® estimates age and gender. Robust results can be generated for both RGB and infrared cameras.

SHORE® records the human heart rate without contact. All that is needed is a standard webcam. In combination with emotion recognition, SHORE® is thus even better able to make statements about the psychophysiological state of a person.
