Denso partners Morpho to develop new safety technology

Global automotive supplier Denso Corporation has entered into a joint development agreement with Morpho, Inc, a Tokyo-based company focused on research, development and image processing technology.

Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will jointly develop image recognition technology that uses image processing technology and engage in deep learning (a branch of machine learning based on a set of algorithms). Denso says this joint development agreement will help it strengthen its safety-related technologies, which is a core area of focus for the company.

Denso and Morpho expect to promote the technological development of surround monitoring systems, including electronic rearview mirrors and other advanced driving support systems that use image processing technology and basic research on automated driving using deep learning.
