ESTIMATION SYSTEM, HUMAN MONITORING SYSTEM, ESTIMATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240344888 titled 'ESTIMATION SYSTEM, HUMAN MONITORING SYSTEM, ESTIMATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM
The abstract of this patent application describes a system designed to accurately estimate whether a group of people are in close contact with each other in a specific space. The system includes two estimators, one for determining the three-dimensional positions of people's heads based on heat distribution detected by infrared sensors, and another for estimating if the people are in close contact based on the positions calculated by the first estimator.
- The first estimator calculates the three-dimensional positions of people's heads in a target space using data from infrared sensors detecting heat sources.
- The second estimator determines if the people are in close contact by analyzing the positions estimated by the first estimator.
- The system aims to provide an accurate estimation of people's proximity in a given space, which can be useful for various applications such as crowd management, social distancing monitoring, and security purposes.
- By combining heat distribution data with position estimation, the system can effectively determine if individuals are in close contact with each other, helping to prevent the spread of diseases or ensure safety in crowded environments.
- The innovation in this system lies in its ability to use infrared sensors to track heat sources and calculate the positions of individuals in a space, providing a unique solution for estimating proximity between people.
Potential Applications: - Crowd management in public spaces - Social distancing monitoring in events or gatherings - Security surveillance in crowded areas
Problems Solved: - Accurately estimating proximity between individuals in a given space - Enhancing safety measures in crowded environments - Improving crowd control and monitoring capabilities
Benefits: - Preventing the spread of diseases by monitoring close contact between individuals - Enhancing security measures in crowded areas - Providing real-time data on people's proximity for efficient crowd management
Commercial Applications: Title: Proximity Estimation System for Crowd Management and Security Surveillance This technology can be utilized in various commercial applications such as event management, public safety, and security industries. By accurately estimating the proximity between individuals in a space, businesses and organizations can effectively manage crowds, ensure social distancing compliance, and enhance security measures.
Questions about Proximity Estimation System: 1. How does the system use heat distribution data to estimate the positions of people in a space? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with using this technology for crowd monitoring and security surveillance?
Original Abstract Submitted
an aspect of the present disclosure is to accurately estimate whether or not a plurality of people are in close contact with each other in a target space. an estimation system () includes a first estimator () and a second estimator (). the first estimator () is configured to estimate, based on a heat distribution including a plurality of heat sources detected by at least one infrared sensor (), three-dimensional positions of heads of a plurality of people in a target space. the second estimator () is configured to estimate, based on data on the three-dimensional positions estimated by the first estimator (), estimate whether or not the plurality of people are in close contact with each other.
