Definitions
- the object of the invention is a counting system of living beings, moving on a first surface and passing through a second cylindrical surface of a generator substantially vertical.
- a system consists of a set of N cells of detection of thermal radiation and an electronic device for acquiring and treatment of the signals delivered by these cells.
- the international application WO 9210812 describes such a counting system, using a single cell that has a sensor and a lens positioned in front of it.
- This sensor is composed of two rows of pyroelectric detectors.
- the lens focuses the thermal radiation on each of the detectors.
- This type of radiation detector temperature can only detect relatively rapid changes in temperature in the field of vision.
- the cell creates two parallel surveillance plans formed by the axes of the beams associated with the detectors.
- a treatment unit evaluates the number of living crossing both planes and their directions of movement.
- This device is adapted to counting in low and low width passages, bus door example. This device is practically unusable in wide passages important given the divergence of the field of view of the sensor.
- the use of pyroelectric detectors as part of this application International makes it difficult to detect living things in slow motion.
- US Patent 4,799,243 describes another system of counting living beings in movement.
- This system consists of cells, each cell comprising two thermal radiation detectors and a lens. These two detectors create for each cell two disjoint fields of vision, substantially symmetrical with respect to the vertical.
- the arrangement of the cells as provided for in this patent is chosen for cover the entire width of the passage to be monitored with a covering of the fields vision in a direction perpendicular to the direction of crossing and a separation of fields of vision according to the direction of crossing. Such an arrangement does not allow the counting living beings too close to each other according to the direction of crossing.
- US Pat. No. 5,068,537 describes another system for counting living creatures in movement using a large number of cells arranged on a single line.
- the system is designed so that a medium-sized living being is detected by at least two cells. Since each cell has only one detector, the system does not allow the determination of the direction of crossing counted living beings.
- thermopiles that are characterized by their ability to detect even very slow variations of temperature in their field of vision.
- the counting system for living beings that is the subject of the invention comprises a set of N thermal radiation detection cells and an electronic device acquisition and processing of the signals delivered by these cells.
- Each cell comprises in particular a thermopile comprising at least one sensitive element, a medium focusing the thermal radiation on the sensitive elements of this thermopile, this focusing means creating an elongated field of view according to a direction, a mask limiting this field of view and an amplifier of the signal delivered by the thermopile.
- the N detection cells are equidistributed according to two curves when N is even and are divided along two curves with a difference of one unit when N is odd, the distribution of the cells on each curve being uniform according to an identical pitch P for each of the two curves, one of these curves identifying with the director of the surface cylindrical crossed by living beings, and the other curve being distant from the preceding of a length D equal to at least 5 cm, the direction of elongation of the field each cell being substantially tangent to one of the two curves.
- a filter generally placed in the thermopile in front of the sensitive element limits the sensitivity to thermal radiation of bodies near temperature ambient, which corresponds to far-infrared radiation in the wavelengths of about 7 to 14 ⁇ m.
- the means of focusing of each cell is adapted to the number, arrangement and geometry of the sensitive element (s) of the thermopile so as to create an elongated field of view in one direction and as narrow as possible in the direction perpendicular to the previous one.
- the means of focusing is preferably carried out using one or more lenses. he can possibly be made by pinhole or mirror.
- thermopile comprises a single sensitive element of elongated surface or when the thermopile has an alignment of sensitive elements whose surfaces have dimensions substantially similar in two directions orthogonal.
- several lenses are used, preferably when the thermopile has only one sensitive element whose surface has dimensions substantially adjacent in two orthogonal directions.
- the system which is the subject of the invention is used to count beings living through a plane; in this case, the curves on which the cells are distributed are parallel lines.
- the opening of the field of view can be chosen for each cell belonging to the same line, so as to ensure the juxtaposition of the zones seen by two successive cells on the same line, to a height close to the minimum size of a living being statistically representative of beings belonging to the population to count.
- the counting system for living beings which is the subject of the invention comprises a device electronic signal processing system delivered by the cells that operates a algorithm.
- a first task of this algorithm initializes the parameters specifying the system configuration.
- a second task of this algorithm ensures successively for each cell the reading and the processing of the numerical values delivered by the electronic device of acquisition.
- a third task of this algorithm ensures the adaptation of the sensitivity threshold of the cells.
- a fifth task of this algorithm analyzes the results of the fourth task and deduces the counting of living beings, their sense of crossing and their movement speed.
- a sixth task of this algorithm exploits counting as well obtained according to the intended application.
- a seventh task of this algorithm manages the rate of execution of the preceding tasks according to the sampling frequency of the signals delivered by the cells.
- the fifth task of the algorithm can be conceived in such a way that allow the grouping, as entities, of successive cell pairs for which the information from the fourth task of the algorithm corresponds crossing a living being or a group of living creatures, information from couples of each entity specifying this number of living beings, the meaning of their crossing and the speed of their movement.

- Connection 1017/1 is effective if test 1017 is TRUE; in this case all couples have not been analyzed and we return to the 1005 test.
- the 1017/0 connection is effective if the test 1017 is FALSE; in this case all couples were analyzed.
- Figure 14 shows the characteristic number analysis chart of the created entity during task 1000.
- This array has as many columns and rows as there are cells in the system.
- This table defines the number of human beings associated with the entity as well as their direction of crossing according to the characteristic numbers of the entity.
- the column numbers correspond to the possible values taken by the number X and the line numbers correspond to the possible values taken by the number Y.
- the empty boxes in the table correspond to impossible situations; the other boxes of the array include either a letter or at least one signed integer whose module represents the number of human beings counted and whose sign corresponds to the crossing initial alignment 1 if it is positive and at the initial crossing of alignment 2 if it is negative
- the letters A, B and C of the table correspond to the special cases for which the counting of human beings is conditioned by additional information.
- the letter A is to be replaced by (+1) when the average of the couple having the signature POSITIVE is greater than the average of the couple with the NEGATIVE signature.
- the letter A is to be replaced by (-1) when the average of the couple having the signature POSITIVE is less than the average of the couple with the NEGATIVE signature.
- the letter B is to be replaced by the set (+1) & (-1) when the couple having the POSITIVE signature was included in the entity before or after the other pairs and by (-2) in other cases.
- the letter C is to be replaced by the set (+1) & (-1) when the couple having the NEGATIVE signature was included in the entity before or after the other couples and by (+2) in other cases.
