Visual system for monitoring people in dynamic environments

摘要

Safety monitoring system for a work area, where the work area refers to an area with an automated mobile device, comprising:multiple visual imaging devices that capture temporal coincidences of image data of the work area, each visual imaging device repeatedly capturing temporal coincidences of image data of the work area from a given point of view,which is substantially different from the other relevant visual imaging devices;at least one headlamp in the work area, which is recorded by at least one of the several imaging devices and produces the headlamp signal at a specified rate;anda visual processing unit for analysing the time-coincident image data generated by the multiple imaging devices on a visual basis;where the unit for visual processing processes the recorded temporal coincident image data for the identification of a person against a non-human object within the work area by counting one or more samples in all the time coincident image data,where the unit for visual processing also determines potential interactions between a person and the automated mobile device;where the unit for the visual processing of remote control signals enables a dynamic reconfiguration of the automated mobile device on the basis of the potential interactions between man and theAutomated mobile device in the work area, where the unit for visual processing detects the flashing signals generated by at least one flashlight in the recorded coincidental image data and verifies whether the flashing signals are detected in the image data at the specified rate,to determine whether the image data is being updated.
