#$%^&*AU2020201817A120200402.pdf#####ABSTRACT An apparatus for securing a danger zone (11) of an underground mining machine (10) is described. The apparatus comprises at least one sensor unit (13) with spatial and 5 temporal resolution which is configured to generate digital spatial data by optically scanning a monitoring area (14), an object identifying device (15) which, based on predefined identification features, is configured to classify persons in the monitoring area (14) as a person object in each case and to determine their respective position and spatial extent at least substantially continuously, an evaluation device which, based on 10 the position and spatial extent, is configured in each case to determine a movement pattern of the particular person object, and to detect a person entering the danger zone (11) and a person leaving the danger zone (11). Further described is an arrangement with the aforementioned apparatus and corresponding methods for securing a danger zone. 15 In conjunction with Figure 11/7 426 444 F3g.3 443 Fig. 1
