TL;DR: The experimental results show that the proposed access control system has the advantages of high precision, safety, reliability, and can be responsive to demands, while preserving the benefits of being low cost and high added value.
Abstract: This paper presents an innovative access control system, based on human detection and path analysis, to reduce false automatic door system actions while increasing the added values for security applications. The proposed system can first identify a person from the scene, and track his trajectory to predict his intention for accessing the entrance, and finally activate the door accordingly. The experimental results show that the proposed system has the advantages of high precision, safety, reliability, and can be responsive to demands, while preserving the benefits of being low cost and high added value.

06 Jun 1991TL;DR: In this article, a camera system is provided with a communication circuit which effects communication of the control information and which is capable of changing the number of communication words associated with the communication.
Abstract: A camera system, which controls the function of a lens assembly on the basis of control information serially transmitted from a camera assembly, is provided with a communication circuit which effects communication of the control information and which is capable of changing the number of communication words associated with the communication, and a circuit for transmitting, if the number of communication words is changed, the changed number of communication words from the camera assembly to the lens assembly.

18 Mar 2013TL;DR: This paper demonstrates how an anonymous ”stick figure” like description of the motion of a user's body parts provided by the vision system with the sensor signals as a means of analyzing the sensors' properties can be used to determine on which body part a motion sensor is worn.
Abstract: In this paper we investigate how vision based devices (cameras or the Kinect controller) that happen to be in the users' environment can be used to improve and fine tune on body sensor systems for activity recognition. Thus we imagine a user with his on body activity recognition system passing through a space with a video camera (or a Kinect), picking up some information, and using it to improve his system. The general idea is to correlate an anonymous ”stick figure” like description of the motion of a user's body parts provided by the vision system with the sensor signals as a means of analyzing the sensors' properties. In the paper we for example demonstrate how such a correlation can be used to determine, without the need to train any classifiers, on which body part a motion sensor is worn.

24 Aug 2004TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus is provided for a digital camera controlled by a remote computer, where the remote computer commands the digital camera as to when to take pictures, how long to pause before taking subsequent pictures, and when to stop taking pictures.
Abstract: In one embodiment a method and apparatus is provided for a digital camera controlled by a remote computer. The remote computer commands the digital camera as to when to take pictures, how long to pause before taking subsequent pictures, and when to stop taking pictures. The digital camera senses current photographic conditions, which are later requested by the remote computer. Based upon the digital camera's current photographic conditions, the remote computer calculates the appropriate exposure parameters for the digital camera and commands the digital camera to set its exposure parameters accordingly. After a picture is taken, the picture is stored as image data in volatile memory in the digital camera. The image data is then transferred to the remote computer for compression and storage in the remote computer's non-volatile memory. The remote computer subsequently encodes the stored image data into a time-lapse video file.

29 Jul 2002TL;DR: In this article, an external program supplied from an external unit in order to process an image sensed by a camera is prevented from causing a malfunction in the camera by storing the external program in an EEPROM of the camera.
Abstract: An external program supplied from an external unit in order to process an image sensed by a camera is prevented from causing a malfunction in the camera. An external program supplied by an personal computer is stored in an EEPROM of the camera. The external program contains version information giving the version of the camera that is capable of using the external program, the name of the program for control, and parameter information corresponding to the program name. A CPU compares each of these items of information with corresponding information that has been set in the camera, thereby determining whether the external program is capable of being used. If the external program cannot be used by the camera, a warning display is presented on a display unit.
