Compact, Cost-Effective 2‑Megapixel Global Shutter Sensor for Driver Monitoring Systems

OMNIVISION’s OV2311 is the automotive industry’s first 2‑megapixel, 3 µm global shutter image sensor designed for driver monitoring applications. Leveraging proven OmniPixel®3‑GS global shutter technology and near-infrared imaging capabilities, the OV2311 offers semi-autonomous vehicle manufacturers a high-performance, cost-effective, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified imaging solution. The sensor provides advanced ASIL safety features for driver monitoring systems.

The sensor captures high-quality video up to 60 frames per second (fps) in a 1600 x 1300 resolution format, which is designed to fit the driver’s head box to ensure reliable monitoring regardless of driver height, seat position, or vehicle cockpit design. Due to the sensor’s high resolution, the OV2311 offers exceptionally accurate gaze- and eye-tracking capabilities. The OV2311 achieves high near-infrared quantum efficiency to minimize active illumination power and reduce the system power requirements.

The OV2311 comes in an ultra-compact automotive chip-scale package (a-CSP™), which allows it to be discreetly designed into the cockpit of the vehicle. The sensor supports a 4‑lane MIPI and 12‑bit double-data-rate digital video port (DVP) interface.
