Embodiment Construction

[0018] The principle of the present invention is to collect the image of the scene of the escalator. When a person stands on the escalator, the characteristics of the image will be different from those of no one. The operation of the automatic escalator is controlled.

[0019] There are many ways to determine whether there is a person on the escalator in the image through image analysis. The present invention provides a preferred embodiment, and the specific implementation may not be limited to the method described in this embodiment. In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further elaborated below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] The automatic escalator control system of the present invention is as figure 1 As shown, the following modules are included:

[0021] The image collection module 101 is used to collect the scenes within the range where people can stand on ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a control method of an escalator which includes the steps that the visible light and/or infrared images of the area scenes maintained for the passengers to stand on are acquired; the images are analyzed; the escalator is judged if passengers stand on the escalator according to the analytical results; according to the judgment results whether passengers stand on the escalator and the current state of the escalator, the state of the escalator is controlled; the invention also discloses a control system of the escalator; the technical proposal of the control method and the control system of the escalator can realize the control of the operating state of the escalator through acquiring the images of the standing areas on the escalator and realize the purpose of saving energy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of image acquisition technology and automatic control technology, in particular to a control method and system for an automatic escalator. Background technique [0002] In large-scale shopping malls, supermarkets, stations, airports and other public places with a large flow of people, escalators (or escalators) are often set up to facilitate people's walking. However, driving the escalator requires power consumption. It is a waste of energy to start the escalator when no one is on the escalator. Therefore, it is necessary to control the escalator so that it stops when there is no one and starts again when there is someone. [0003] The existing automatic escalator control system all adopts the method of weight measurement to determine whether there is a person on the escalator, if there is a person, the automatic escalator will start, and if there is no one, it will stop running. However, this method requires high co...
