INSTALLATION FOR BLOCKING PASSAGE BY WALKING OR DRIVING, HAVING A DEVICE FOR MONITORING THE PASSAGE AREA BY WALKING OR DRIVING

摘要

The invention relates to a device for monitoring the passage area by walking or driving of barriers for blocking passage by walking or driving, in said barriers at least one blocking element (3) releases the passage by walking or driving only after persons or vehicles or the occupants thereof have been identified, wherein only a single camera (5) is centrally arranged above the monitoring area (1) as a recognition means. The detection area of said camera (5) comprises the entire monitoring area (1) including the blocking elements (3). In the detection area of the camera (5), at least one masked area is generated by means of software, wherein the masked area corresponds to the profile of the blocking elements (3) perceptible to the camera (5) in shape, position, and type of motion and can be moved in synchronization with the motion of the blocking element(s) (3) by means of software. False monitoring results are avoided in that the blocking elements (3) are thus masked during the identification of persons and objects.
