Abstract

The present invention relates to a thermally sensitive array device for detecting a presence of a target object in a surveillance area. The device comprises a plurality of at least two thermally sensitive sensors provided in an array arrangement, each thermally sensitive sensor being associated with one of a corresponding plurality of at least two surveillance spots comprised in the surveillance area. Each thermally sensitive sensor comprises a sensitive element adapted to absorb a portion of thermal infrared radiation emitted from one of said plurality of targets located inside the surveillance cone corresponding to the thermally sensitve sensor. Thermally sensitive sensor can be thermopiles, Bolometers or any other type. Electronic circuits in each thermally sensitive sensor are adaptedto measure a signal generated in the thermally sensitive sensor as a consequence of the temperatures of the target. The device may further comprise electric multiplex measurement circuitry electrically coupled to the different sensors. The device is adapted to perform differential measurements between selectable pairs of thermopile sensors, of the temperatures prevailing in the corresponding surveillance cones.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a thermally sensitive array device comprising, for example, a thermopile array, providing presence and motion detection within a surveillance area comprising an array arrangement of surveillance cones, in an exemplary application of such a device as a door sensor device, Particularly suitable for providing presence and / or motion detection of objects in or near doorways, preferably for automatic door applications. Background technique [0002] In this application, the presence of a target object such as a human body is detected when, for example, entering the door sensor monitoring area triggers the door to open automatically, or when the target object is detected in the doorway, preventing the door from closing against the target object. [0003] Thermal imaging is based on the measurement of thermal radiation emitted by any object with a defined temperature. The relevant wavelength of this radiation is betw...
