Problems solved by technology

However, there is still such a problem in the existing escalator monitoring system: as mentioned above, it is very difficult to obtain detailed information related to the depth from the two-dimensional image captured by the shooting device, Therefore, the detection accuracy of passengers is also very low
Therefore, for example, when there are passengers near the handrail of the escalator, due to the shooting angle of the camera device, it is sometimes impossible to correctly determine whether the passenger is leaning ...

Embodiment Construction

[0076] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0077] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the escalator monitoring system of the embodiment of the present invention. 11 in the figure is an escalator as a monitoring object.

[0078] The escalator 11 includes a plurality of steps 12 and a pair of handrail panels 13 provided on both sides of the steps 12 . Each step 12 may be, for example, a stepped platform formed of aluminum die casting, and circulates between landings while being supported at a predetermined inclination angle by a truss (not shown).

[0079] In addition, the pair of railing panels 13 may be formed of, for example, transparent glass or acrylic material, and a hand strap 14 covering the periphery with rubber or the like is wound around the peripheral portion of the railing panels 13 . The hand belt 14 moves in synchronization with the respective pedals 12 described above.

Abstract

The present invention provides an escalator monitoring system which is provided with at least two shooting devices (22a, 22b) at a place where the body of the escalator (11) can be monitored. Each image which is shot through the shooting devices (22a, 22b) is transmitted to an image processor (24). In the image processor (24), the three-dimensional information is obtained according to each image.The three-dimensional information is analyzed. The position of a passenger (10) who uses the escalator (11) is detected, wherein the position comprises the depth direction of the shooting range, and simultaneously, the motion of the passenger (10) is detected based on the operation information of escalator (11).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an escalator monitoring system which uses a camera to monitor passengers using the escalator. Background technique [0002] Escalators (also called people conveyors) installed in buildings and stations usually operate automatically in places where there are no monitoring personnel. Therefore, dangerous states such as those occupants leaning out from the armrest to the outside may be ignored. In addition, even when the passenger falls, it takes time to contact and reach the monitoring personnel, and there is a problem that the response is too late. [0003] In the prior art, in order to solve such problems, for example, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-34088 and Japanese Unexamined Publication No. 5-319762, it is proposed to install a photographing device near the escalator, and use the photographing device to photograph An escalator monitoring system that detects the behavior of passengers leaning out or goi...
