Title Detection of persons based on digital vision: Possibilities and limitations
Original title Détection de personnes par des techniques de vision numérique: possibilités et limites [in French]
Bibliographic information 3rd Quarter 2007, No.208, p.61-74. Illus. 16 ref.
Abstract Methods for detecting human presence in danger zones are not always satisfactory because existing systems such as light curtains or pressure sensitive mats have a low discriminating capacity as well as a lack of flexibility with respect to the configuration of the area to be protected. To overcome these limitations and satisfy the need for a broader field of application, current development work is focussed on vision-based devices. This article analyses four image processing systems designed to detect human presence in danger zones. Some of these systems appear to be reliable.
