Guardian Optical Technologies ^{For Profit}

Established in late October 2014, Guardian optical Technologies is an innovative israeli startup developing an advanced 3D sensor. By identifying typical motions their sensor detects the presence of humans within a given scene. This is done with sensitivity which is high enough to detect motions over a large scale, from a walking person to a sleeping baby. This unique property provides human detection with an outstanding confidence. Guardian's sensors replace in-seat pressure sensors, seat-belt sensors and standard drivers' cameras since they indicate location, physical dimensions and body position of each passenger. Guardian’s optical sensors use an advanced, patented technology that detects the presence of humans even where there is no direct line of sight. The depth sensor detects the motions of the various objects within a given scene. Their algorithm then classifies the typical motions of humans, animals and objects. Since their sensor detects the slightest motions, it provides segmentation with an accuracy and robustness which is unparalleled by any other technology today. Among other applications where human detection is desired, their sensor provides the first solution to the problem of babies forgotten in cars!
