System for Visually Monitoring a Workspace - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18596766 titled 'System for Visually Monitoring a Workspace

The patent application describes a system for visually monitoring a workspace with an access zone that must be passed through to reach an access point. The access zone detector, similar to the workspace detector, includes an imaging sensor and a test evaluation module to evaluate image files or point clouds and indicate the position of a person in the access zone.

  • The system includes an access zone detector with an imaging sensor and a test evaluation module.
  • The access zone must be passed through before reaching the access point in the workspace.
  • The access zone detector functions similarly to the workspace detector in evaluating image files or point clouds.
  • The system provides a position indication for a person detected in the access zone.
  • The technology enhances visual monitoring and security in workspaces with restricted access zones.

Potential Applications: - Security monitoring in restricted access workspaces - Surveillance systems in high-security areas - Access control in sensitive environments

Problems Solved: - Enhanced security measures in workspaces with access restrictions - Improved monitoring and surveillance capabilities - Efficient detection and tracking of individuals in access zones

Benefits: - Increased security and safety in restricted areas - Real-time monitoring and position tracking of individuals - Enhanced access control and surveillance capabilities

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Security Monitoring System for Restricted Access Workspaces This technology can be used in industries such as: - Government facilities - Research laboratories - Military installations

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between individuals in the access zone? 2. What are the potential limitations of the imaging sensor in the access zone detector?


Original Abstract Submitted

A system for visually monitoring a workspace that is preceded by an access zone configured such that it must first be passed through in order to reach an access point, wherein the access zone has an access zone detector that is similar in function to a workspace detector and is also formed with an imaging sensor for recording digital image files or point clouds and a test evaluation module that is configured to evaluate the image files or point clouds in the same way as provided in the evaluation module of the workspace detector and to output a position indication for a person detected in the access zone.
