Description

本発明は、入退室を管理する入退室管理装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an entrance / exit management device for managing entrance / exit.

従来、不正な連れ込み入退室を制限して入退室管理を厳格にする入退室管理のシステムが提供されている(例えば特許文献1)。   Conventionally, an entrance / exit management system that restricts illegal entry / exit rooms and restricts entrance / exit management has been provided (for example, Patent Document 1).

このシステムは部屋の扉の近傍にID認証用のカードリーダと、正面向きの撮像カメラ及び天井に設置した撮像カメラとを備え、カードリーダで本人情報がIDカードから読み取られたとき、データベースで検索される顔情報と、正面側のカメラで撮影される顔情報とを照合するとともに、両カメラで撮影される人影数を認定し、顔情報の照合結果が一致し、認定人影が一つであることで、入退室者が本人一人であると判断したとき、ドアの錠を解錠するようなっており、また解錠後、認定する人影が二つ以上であれば、警報を発するようなっている。
特開2004−211538公報(段落番号0052〜0055)
This system includes a card reader for ID authentication near the door of the room, a front-facing imaging camera, and an imaging camera installed on the ceiling. When the personal information is read from the ID card by the card reader, the system searches the database. The face information captured by the front camera and the number of people photographed by both cameras, the face information collation results match, and there is only one authorized figure. That is, when it is determined that the person entering or leaving the room is one person, the door is unlocked, and after unlocking, if there are two or more authorized persons, an alarm is issued. Yes.

以下本発明を実施形態により説明する。
(実施形態1)
本実施形態の入退室管理装置は図1(a)、(b)に示すように管理対象となる部屋Rの出入り口Eに設けた扉Dの施錠/解錠を行う電気錠からなる錠手段1と、この錠手段1の解錠/施錠を制御する錠制御手段2と、入室しようとする者が予め許可されている者であるか否かを判断するためのID認証手段3と、画像監視手段4と、電子ブザー等警報音を不正入退室の検知信号として発する警報出力手段5とで構成される。
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), the entrance / exit management device of the present embodiment is a lock means 1 comprising an electric lock for locking / unlocking the door D provided at the entrance / exit E of the room R to be managed. A lock control means 2 for controlling the unlocking / locking of the lock means 1, an ID authentication means 3 for determining whether or not a person who intends to enter the room is permitted in advance, and image monitoring It comprises means 4 and alarm output means 5 for emitting an alarm sound such as an electronic buzzer as an illegal entry / exit detection signal.

ID認証手段3は、出入り口E近傍の所定エリア(以下室外エリアという)A側に設けられ、ICカード、顔認証、指紋認証など個人を特定できる適宜な操作手段で構成される。   The ID authentication means 3 is provided on a predetermined area (hereinafter referred to as an outdoor area) A side in the vicinity of the doorway E, and is composed of appropriate operation means that can identify an individual such as an IC card, face authentication, and fingerprint authentication.

画像監視手段4は、扉D近傍の室外の天井Xに設置され、出入り口E、ID認証手段3の設置場所を含む出入り口E前の室外エリアAを撮像範囲とする撮像手段40及び撮像手段40で撮像された画像から室外エリアA内の動・静止人物の抽出を行って室外エリアA内の人数を計数するエリア滞在人数計数手段41と、ID認証によって錠手段1が錠制御手段により解錠された後施錠されるまでの間扉D方向へ移動し、扉D付近で消失する物体(人)を計数する通過人数計数手段43とを有する。   The image monitoring means 4 is installed on an outdoor ceiling X near the door D, and includes an imaging means 40 and an imaging means 40 having an outdoor area A before the entrance / exit E including the installation location of the entrance / exit E and the ID authentication means 3 as an imaging range. The area staying person counting means 41 for counting the number of people in the outdoor area A by extracting moving / still persons in the outdoor area A from the captured image, and the lock means 1 are unlocked by the lock control means by ID authentication. And passing person counting means 43 that moves in the direction of door D until it is locked and counts an object (person) disappearing near door D.

エリア滞在人数計数手段41は、例えば撮像手段4で撮像した濃淡画像を用いるもので、予め人が存在しない背景画像を記憶し、この記憶した背景画像と現時刻の画像の差分からまとまる前景部分を切り出し、この切り出した面積に応じて滞在人数を判定する方法を採用している。勿論この方法以外の周知の技術も使用できるので、上述の方法に限定されるものではない。     The area visitor counting unit 41 uses, for example, a grayscale image captured by the imaging unit 4, stores a background image in which no person exists in advance, and extracts a foreground portion that is collected from the difference between the stored background image and the current time image. A method of cutting out and determining the number of visitors according to the cut out area is adopted. Of course, a known technique other than this method can also be used, and the present invention is not limited to the above method.

また通過人数計数手段43は錠手段1が解錠されている状態で、エリア滞在人数計数手段41と同様な方法で物体抽出(前景部分の抽出)を一定時間間隔で行って抽出物体の画像上の位置を算出するとともに、現時刻の算出位置と前の時刻で算出位置との対応付けを行って移動する抽出物体のトラッキングを行い、そのトラッキングの結果、予め設定された扉Dの方向でトラッキングが消失するものを入室者とし、この入室する人数を計数するのである。   The passing person counting means 43 performs object extraction (extraction of the foreground part) at a predetermined time interval in the same manner as the area staying person counting means 41 in a state where the lock means 1 is unlocked, and on the image of the extracted object. The tracking of the moving object is performed by associating the calculated position at the current time with the calculated position at the previous time, and tracking in the direction of the door D set in advance as a result of the tracking. The person who disappears is regarded as the person entering the room, and the number of persons entering the room is counted.

而して、今入室しようとする人物MがID認証手段3で入室のための操作を開始すると、ID認証手段3は画像監視手段4の信号処理手段42へID認証操作信号を送る。   Thus, when the person M who is about to enter the room starts the operation for entering the room with the ID authentication means 3, the ID authentication means 3 sends an ID authentication operation signal to the signal processing means 42 of the image monitoring means 4.

このID認証操作信号が送られてくると信号処理手段42は、撮像手段40で撮像している現時刻の画像と背景画像とに基づいて人数の計数処理を行うようにエリア滞在人数計数手段41に指令を与える。   When this ID authentication operation signal is sent, the signal processing means 42 counts the number of people staying in the area 41 so as to count the number of people based on the image at the current time and the background image captured by the imaging means 40. Is given a directive.

エリア滞在人数計数手段41は指令に応じて上述の方法によりエリア内の人数を計数する。この計数結果を信号処理手段42に出力する。信号処理手段42はID認証手段3からIDが認証された結果が送られ、且つ計数結果が単数(一人)の場合には、解錠指令を錠制御手段2に与える。これにより錠制御手段2は錠手段1に対して解錠信号を出力し、錠手段1を解錠制御する。勿論計数結果が単数であってもIDが認証されない場合には施錠状態は維持される。   The area staying person counting means 41 counts the number of persons in the area by the above-described method according to the command. The count result is output to the signal processing means 42. The signal processing means 42 sends an unlocking command to the lock control means 2 when the result of the ID authentication sent from the ID authentication means 3 and the count result is singular (one person). As a result, the lock control means 2 outputs an unlock signal to the lock means 1 and controls the lock means 1 to be unlocked. Of course, even if the counting result is singular, the locked state is maintained when the ID is not authenticated.

一方、計数結果が複数(二人以上)の場合には信号処理手段42はIDの認証結果に関係なく解錠指令を出力しない。つまり錠制御手段2は錠手段1に対する解錠制御を行わず、施錠状態を維持する。また信号処理手段42は、共連れ入室が試行されようとしたとして警報出力手段5に対して警報を発するように指令を出し、警報出力手段5から警報を発報させる。尚ID認証手段3の操作前から人数の計数を行い、ID認証手段3の操作時に、操作から一定時間前までの計数値を用いて解錠/施錠維持の判断を行うようにしても良い。   On the other hand, when there are a plurality of count results (two or more), the signal processing means 42 does not output an unlock command regardless of the ID authentication result. That is, the lock control means 2 does not perform the unlock control for the lock means 1 and maintains the locked state. Further, the signal processing means 42 issues a command to issue an alarm to the alarm output means 5 and tries to issue an alarm from the alarm output means 5 when trying to enter the room together. Note that the number of persons may be counted before the operation of the ID authentication unit 3, and when the ID authentication unit 3 is operated, determination of unlocking / locking maintenance may be performed using the count value from the operation to a predetermined time.

さてID認証が行われ且つエリア滞在人数計数手段41の計数が単数という結果により錠制御手段2を通じて錠手段1が解錠されると、解錠状態を示す信号が錠制御手段2を通じて信号処理手段42に送られる。これにより信号処理手段42はID認証によって解錠状態となったことで通過人数計数手段43に対して計数動作を指令する。通過人数計数手段43は指令に基づいて入室人数の計数を開始する。つまり上述したように一定時間毎に抽出人物の画像上の位置を算出して前時刻と、現時刻との算出位置との対応付けにより抽出物体のトラッキングを行い、予め設定された扉Dの方向でトラッキングが消失するものを入室者とし、この入室する人数を計数するのである。そしてこの計数結果を信号処理手段42に出力する。信号処理手段42は同時刻及び時系列で出入り口Eを通じて入室する人数が複数と計数されたことを示す計数結果を受け取ると共連れや後追い(駆け込み)入室があったとして警報出力手段5に警報を発するように指令を出し、警報出力手段5から警報を発報させる。   When the ID authentication is performed and the lock means 1 is unlocked through the lock control means 2 due to the result that the area visitor counting means 41 has a single count, a signal indicating the unlocked state is transmitted through the lock control means 2 as a signal processing means. 42. As a result, the signal processing means 42 commands the counting operation to the passing person counting means 43 when the unlocked state is obtained by the ID authentication. The passing number counting means 43 starts counting the number of people entering the room based on the command. That is, as described above, the position of the extracted person on the image is calculated at regular intervals, the extracted object is tracked by associating the calculated position with the previous time and the current time, and the direction of the door D set in advance In this case, the person who entered the room is counted as the number of people who entered the room. The count result is output to the signal processing means 42. When the signal processing means 42 receives a counting result indicating that the number of people entering the room through the doorway E is counted as a plurality of times at the same time and in time series, the signal processing means 42 warns the warning output means 5 that there was a companion or follow-up (run-in) entry. A command is issued so that a warning is issued, and a warning is issued from the warning output means 5.

以上のように本実施形態では、ID認証手段3の操作時に室外エリアA内に複数人が存在している場合にはIDの認証結果にかわらず、錠手段1の施錠状態を維持して共連れ入室を未然に防ぐことができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, when there are a plurality of persons in the outdoor area A during operation of the ID authentication unit 3, the lock state of the lock unit 1 is maintained and shared regardless of the ID authentication result. It is possible to prevent entry into the room.

またID認証後の解錠中において同時刻又は時系列で複数人の入室があった場合に、共連れ入室があったとして警報を発し、管理者などに知らせ、共連れ入室に対する対処を促すのである。   In addition, when unlocking after ID authentication, if multiple people enter the room at the same time or in time series, an alarm will be issued and there will be an alert to the administrator, etc., prompting coping with the accompanying room. is there.

尚錠手段1の部屋Rの内側<以下室内という>からの解錠はドアノブのサムターンや別途設置されている退室用解錠操作釦10が操作されたときに錠制御手段2の制御の下で為され、この解錠中において室内の人が扉Dを開けることで出入り口Eを介して室外エリアAへ出ることができるようになっている。また解錠された錠手段1は解錠から一定時間経過すると錠制御手段2の制御の下で自動的に施錠される。勿論扉Dがこのとき閉じられているものとする。
(実施形態2)
ところで、上述の通過人数計数手段43は入室する人を計数するものであったが、本実施形態では、室内側から錠手段1が解錠され、室内から人が退室する場合において、同時刻及び時系列で扉D方向から室外エリアA内に現出し、室外エリアAに一定期間以上存在する人を退室者として判断し、この退出者の数を計数する機能を通過人数計手段43に追加した点に特徴がある。その他の構成は実施形態1と同じであるので、図示を省略する。
The unlocking from the inside of the room R of the locking means 1 (hereinafter referred to as the “indoor”) is performed under the control of the lock control means 2 when the thumb-turn of the door knob or the unlocking operation button 10 for leaving the room is operated. In this unlocking process, a person inside the room can open the door D and enter the outdoor area A through the doorway E. The unlocked locking means 1 is automatically locked under the control of the lock control means 2 after a certain time has elapsed since unlocking. Of course, it is assumed that the door D is closed at this time.

By the way, although the above-mentioned passing number counting means 43 is for counting the number of people entering the room, in this embodiment, when the locking means 1 is unlocked from the indoor side and the person leaves the room, the same time and A function that counts the number of people who have left the outdoor area A from the direction of door D in the time series in the outdoor area A and has been in the outdoor area A for a certain period of time as a person leaving the room has been added to the passage counter 43. There is a feature in the point. Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, illustration is omitted.

而して、本実施形態では、入室前の共連れの未然防止や、解錠後の共連れ入室、後追い入室があった場合の警報の発報は実施形態1と同様に行うことができる上に、次のような独自の動作を行う。   Thus, in the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent a companion before entering a room, issue an alarm when there is a companion room after unlocking, and a follow-up room, as in the first embodiment. In addition, the following unique operations are performed.

つまり室内側の操作で錠手段1の解錠が為され、解錠されたことを示す信号を信号処理手段42から受け取ると、画像監視手段4の通過人数計数手段43は、撮像手段40が撮像した室外エリアAの画像から人物を抽出して上述と同様に抽出物体の移動のトラッキングを行うことになる、このトラッキングの結果扉D方向から物体が現出し、その現出した物体が室外エリアAに一定時間存在し続ければ退出者と判断してその数を計数し、その計数結果を信号処理手段42へ出力する。信号処理手段42は計数結果が複数を示している場合には共連れ退室行為があったとして警報出力手段5に警報を発するように指令を出し、警報出力手段5から警報を発報させる。   That is, when the lock means 1 is unlocked by an indoor operation and a signal indicating that the lock means 1 is unlocked is received from the signal processing means 42, the passing number counting means 43 of the image monitoring means 4 is imaged by the imaging means 40. The person is extracted from the image of the outdoor area A and the movement of the extracted object is tracked in the same manner as described above. As a result of this tracking, the object appears from the direction of the door D, and the appearing object is the outdoor area A. If it continues to exist for a certain period of time, it is determined that the person has left, and the number thereof is counted. The signal processing means 42 issues a command to issue an alarm to the alarm output means 5 and issues an alarm from the alarm output means 5 when there is a co-exiting action when the counting result indicates a plurality.

以上のように本実施形態では、室内側から解錠があって、その解錠中において同時刻又は時系列で複数人の退室があった場合にこれを検知して、共連れ退室に対する警報を発することができるのである。
(実施形態3)
実施形態2は、解錠中の共連れ退室を夫々検知して警報することができるものであったが、本実施形態は、室内側から解錠されその解錠中において、実施形態2と同様に通過人数計数手段43が退出者の計数を行う以外に、ID認証による解錠中において、誘い出しや共連れ退室等の不正退室を検知する機能を備えている点に特徴がある。その他の構成は実施形態1、2と同じであるので、図示を省略する。
As described above, in the present embodiment, when there is unlocking from the indoor side, and there are multiple people leaving at the same time or time series during the unlocking, this is detected and an alarm for the shared leaving room is issued. It can be emitted.
(Embodiment 3)
In the second embodiment, it is possible to detect and alarm each of the accompanying guest rooms being unlocked. However, the present embodiment is unlocked from the room side, and during the unlocking, it is the same as in the second embodiment. In addition, the passing person counting means 43 has a function of detecting illegal leaving such as invitation and accompanying leaving during unlocking by ID authentication, in addition to counting the number of people leaving. Since other configurations are the same as those of the first and second embodiments, illustration is omitted.

而して本実施形態の画像監視手段4の通過人数計数手段43は、ID認証手段5によるID認証によって錠手段1の解錠が為されたことが信号処理手段42を通じて受け取ると、撮像手段40が撮像した画像から物体を抽出して上述と同様に抽出した物体(以下人物という)の移動のトラッキングを行い、このトラッキングの結果扉D方向へ消失する物体を入室者、逆に扉D方向から物体が現出し、その現出した物体が室外エリアAに一定時間存在し続ければ退室者と判断して夫々の数を計数し、その計数結果を信号処理手段42へ出力する。   Thus, when the passing person counting means 43 of the image monitoring means 4 of the present embodiment receives through the signal processing means 42 that the lock means 1 has been unlocked by the ID authentication by the ID authentication means 5, the imaging means 40. Extract the object from the captured image and track the movement of the extracted object (hereinafter referred to as a person) in the same manner as described above. The object that disappears in the direction of the door D as a result of this tracking If an object appears, and the appearing object continues to exist in the outdoor area A for a certain period of time, it is determined that the person has left the room, the number of each person is counted, and the counting result is output to the signal processing means 42.

ここで退室者が一人でも計数されている場合には、信号処理手段42は入室者にまぎれた不正退室(共連れ退室)行為があった或いは誘い出しによる不正退室があったとして、警報出力手段5に警報を発するように指令を出し、警報出力手段5から警報を発報させる。   Here, if even one person who has left the room is counted, the signal processing means 42 determines that there has been an illegal leaving (joining leaving) act that is covered by the entering person or that there has been an illegal leaving due to invitation. A command is issued to issue an alarm, and the alarm output means 5 issues an alarm.

つまり、本実施形態ではID認証を行い解錠した人の入室時にまぎれて退室者がある場合は勿論のこと、解錠した人が室外エリアAに滞在している状態で退室者がある場合(退室を促す誘い出しがある場合)もこれを検知して警報を発することができるのである。   That is, in this embodiment, when there is a person leaving the room when the person who has been unlocked by ID authentication enters the room, there is also a person who has left the room while the unlocked person is staying in the outdoor area A ( If there is an invitation to leave the room), this can be detected and an alarm can be issued.

またID認証による解錠中に、共連れ入室の検知があれば実施形態1と同様に警報出力手段5による警報発報を行い、また室内側からの解錠時には、実施形態2と同様に共連れ退室の検知があれば警報出力手段5による警報発報を行う。
(実施形態4)
上述の各実施形態の画像監視手段4は、撮像手段40により予め背景を撮像した濃淡画像を登録し、この背景画像と、現時刻で撮像して得た濃淡画像との濃淡差分をとることで、前景たる人物を抽出し、その人物の領域の面積で人数を計数する手段をエリア滞在人数計数手段41や通過人数計数手段43に採用している。
Also, if a lock-in room is detected during unlocking by ID authentication, an alarm is issued by the alarm output means 5 in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and when unlocking from the indoor side, as in the second embodiment. If there is a detection of the accompanying room, the alarm output means 5 issues an alarm.
(Embodiment 4)
The image monitoring unit 4 of each of the above-described embodiments registers a grayscale image obtained by imaging the background in advance by the imaging unit 40, and obtains a grayscale difference between the background image and the grayscale image obtained at the current time. A means for extracting a person who is a foreground and counting the number of people based on the area of the person's area is employed as the area staying number counting means 41 and the passing number counting means 43.

このような方法の場合扉Dが開き、室内が見える状態で現時刻の画像を得た場合、この画像には室内の人以外の部分まで撮像されており、そのため上述のような濃淡差分によって人物抽出を行うと、高精度な人数計数や室外エリアA内の滞在者の有無の判断を行うことが難しく誤検知の原因となる。この誤検知を無くすために精度を高くしようとすると画像処理が煩雑となる。更にまた撮像手段40の視野内にガラス窓のような室内側が室外から見える透過物があった場合、上述の濃淡差分を用いた場合には透過した状態の差分を抽出し、結果高精度な計数ができないという課題がある。   In the case of such a method, when the door D is opened and an image at the current time is obtained in a state where the room can be seen, the portion other than the person in the room is captured in this image. When the extraction is performed, it is difficult to accurately determine the number of people and the presence / absence of a visitor in the outdoor area A, which causes erroneous detection. If the accuracy is increased in order to eliminate this erroneous detection, the image processing becomes complicated. Furthermore, if there is a transmissive material such as a glass window that can be seen from the outside, such as a glass window, in the field of view of the image pickup means 40, the difference in the transmitted state is extracted when the above-described density difference is used, and as a result, high-precision counting There is a problem that cannot be done.

これに対して本実施形態では、画像監視手段4の撮像手段として、図2(a)に示すように距離画像撮像手段40’を用いてその距離画像情報により人物抽出を行うようにした点に特徴がある。   On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as the imaging means of the image monitoring means 4, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), a distance image imaging means 40 ′ is used to extract a person based on the distance image information. There are features.

この距離画像撮像手段40’は、強度変調を行った照射光で被写体に照射し、この照射光が被写体により反射された光を撮像素子で受光し、この受光した光と照射光の位相差を求めて撮像手段の位置から被写体の各位置までの距離値を画素値として得るもので、この距離画像撮像手段40’に対応して画像監視手段4には、前記距離画像撮像手段40’で予め人が存在していない状態で撮像した距離画像を背景距離画像として登録し、現時刻の撮像で得た距離画像と差分(距離画像背景差分)を|背景距離画像−現時刻距離画像|という式で求め、差分値が一定以上であれば背景でない高さのある人物(前景)が現時刻で存在するとしてその領域を抽出する動静止人物抽出手段44を設けてある。例えば距離画像撮像手段40の撮像方向を図2(b)に示すように部屋Rの出入り口E方向に設定し、この状態で扉Dを閉じた状態を撮像してその背景距離画像を動静止人物抽出手段44内の記録手段(図示せず)で登録しておくことで、図2(b)のように扉Dが開いて扉Dより室内側に人物Mが居る状態で撮像したときに、予め登録している背景距離画像と、撮像により得た現時刻距離画像との差分を上記の式で求めた場合、前景に当たる領域は存在しないとして人物抽出をしないことができる。従って、距離画像撮像手段40’から閉じられた扉Dまでの距離L2よりも遠方(室内側)の距離L2にある人物Mは既に入室後で、距離画像撮像手段40’を設けた室外エリアAに人物が存在しないと判断することができる。また上述のようにガラス窓のような透過物が距離画像撮像手段40’の視野内にある場合には、背景撮像時のみ透過物を遮蔽(遮光)するような覆いをかけて背景距離画像を撮像すれば、距離画像背景差分により透過物の向こう側の物体を抽出することがなく、そのため透過物の影響を受けることはない。 The distance image capturing means 40 ′ irradiates the subject with the irradiation light subjected to intensity modulation, receives the light reflected by the subject by the imaging device, and calculates the phase difference between the received light and the irradiation light. The distance value from the position of the image pickup means to each position of the subject is obtained as a pixel value, and the distance image image pickup means 40 ′ corresponds to the distance image image pickup means 40 ′ in advance by the distance image pickup means 40 ′. A distance image captured in the absence of a person is registered as a background distance image, and a difference (distance image background difference) from the distance image obtained by imaging at the current time is referred to as | background distance image-current time distance image |. If the difference value is equal to or greater than a certain value, a moving and stationary person extracting means 44 is provided for extracting a region having a height (foreground) that is not the background at the current time. For example, the image capturing direction of the distance image capturing means 40 is set to the entrance / exit direction E of the room R as shown in FIG. 2B, and in this state, the door D is closed and the background distance image is taken as a moving and stationary person. By registering with a recording means (not shown) in the extraction means 44, when the door D is opened and a person M is present indoors from the door D as shown in FIG. When the difference between the background distance image registered in advance and the current time distance image obtained by imaging is obtained by the above formula, it is possible to extract the person because there is no region corresponding to the foreground. Therefore, a person M who is at a distance L2 farther (inner side) than the distance L2 from the distance image capturing means 40 ′ to the closed door D has already entered the outdoor area A where the distance image capturing means 40 ′ is provided. It can be determined that no person exists. Further, as described above, when a transparent object such as a glass window is in the field of view of the distance image capturing means 40 ', a background distance image is displayed by covering the transparent object only during background imaging. If an image is taken, an object on the other side of the transmitted object is not extracted by the distance image background difference, and therefore is not affected by the transmitted object.

而して、ID認証手段3による認証操作があってID認証操作信号がID認証手段3から画像監視手段4の信号処理手段42に入力すると、この入力に対応した信号処理手段42の指令により動静止人物抽出手段44は距離画像撮像手段40が撮像した現時刻の距離画像と、登録している背景の距離画像とから上述の距離画像背景差分を求め、前景たる人物を抽出してエリア滞在人数計数手段41及び通過人数計数手段43に渡す。エリア滞在人数計数手段41は抽出された人物の領域の大きさから室外エリアA内に滞在する人数を計数し、その計数結果を信号処理手段42に送る。信号処理手段42は、計数結果が複数を示す場合には実施形態1と同様に錠手段1の施錠状態を維持し、共連れ入室を防ぐ。   Thus, when there is an authentication operation by the ID authentication means 3 and an ID authentication operation signal is input from the ID authentication means 3 to the signal processing means 42 of the image monitoring means 4, it is activated by a command of the signal processing means 42 corresponding to this input. The still person extraction means 44 obtains the above-mentioned distance image background difference from the distance image of the current time imaged by the distance image imaging means 40 and the registered background distance image, extracts the person as the foreground, and extracts the number of people staying in the area. It passes to the counting means 41 and the passing number counting means 43. The area visitor number counting means 41 counts the number of people staying in the outdoor area A from the size of the extracted person area, and sends the count result to the signal processing means 42. When the counting results indicate a plurality, the signal processing means 42 maintains the locked state of the locking means 1 in the same manner as in the first embodiment and prevents co-entry rooms.

一方ID認証後、錠手段1が解錠された場合には、通過人数計数手段43が、動静止人物抽出手段44が抽出する人物の画像上の位置を算出し、この算出位置と前の時刻での抽出人物の算出位置との対応付けを行って移動する抽出人物のトラッキングを行い、そのトラッキングの結果、予め設定された扉Dの方向でトラッキングが消失するものを入室者として入室する人数を計数し、その計数結果を信号処理手段42に送る。信号処理手段42は同時刻及び時系列で複数人が計数されたことを示す計数結果が入力すると、信号処理手段42は共連れ入室があったとして警報出力手段5に警報を発するように指令を出し、警報出力手段5から警報を発報させる。   On the other hand, when the lock means 1 is unlocked after the ID authentication, the passing person counting means 43 calculates the position on the image of the person extracted by the moving and stationary person extracting means 44, and the calculated position and the previous time The number of people who enter the room as the person who enters the room whose tracking disappears in the direction of the door D set in advance as a result of the tracking is tracked. Counting and sending the counting result to the signal processing means 42. When the signal processing means 42 receives a count result indicating that a plurality of persons are counted at the same time and time series, the signal processing means 42 instructs the alarm output means 5 to issue an alarm that there is a co-entry room. The alarm is output from the alarm output means 5.

逆に扉D方向から物体が現出し、その現出した物体が室外エリアAに一定時間存在し続ければ退室者と判断して夫々の数を計数し、その計数結果を信号処理手段42へ出力する。ここで退室者が一人でも計数されている場合には、信号処理手段42は入室者にまぎれた不正退室(共連れ退室)行為があったとして、警報出力手段5に警報を発するように指令を出し、警報出力手段5から警報を発報させる。   Conversely, an object appears from the direction of door D, and if the appearing object continues to exist in the outdoor area A for a certain period of time, it is determined that the person has left the room, and the number of each person is counted, and the count result is output to the signal processing means 42. To do. Here, when even one person who has left the room is counted, the signal processing means 42 instructs the alarm output means 5 to issue an alarm on the assumption that there has been an illegal room leaving action (a group leaving room). The alarm is output from the alarm output means 5.

一方室内側から錠手段1が解錠され、室内から人が退室する場合にあっては、通過人数計数手段43は動静止人物抽出手段44が抽出する人物の画像上の位置を算出し、この算出位置と前の時刻での抽出人物の算出位置との対応付けを行って移動する抽出人物のトラッキングを行い、そのトラッキングの結果、予め設定された扉Dの方向から室外エリアA内に現出し且つ室外エリアAに一定期間以上存在する場合には、その人を退室者として判断し、この退室する人数を計数し、その計数結果を信号処理手段42へ出力する。   On the other hand, when the lock means 1 is unlocked from the room side and the person leaves the room, the passing person counting means 43 calculates the position on the image of the person extracted by the moving and stationary person extracting means 44, and this The extracted person moving is tracked by associating the calculated position with the calculated position of the extracted person at the previous time, and as a result of the tracking, it appears in the outdoor area A from the preset direction of the door D If the person exists in the outdoor area A for a certain period or more, the person is determined as a person leaving the room, the number of persons leaving the room is counted, and the counting result is output to the signal processing means 42.

信号処理手段42は計数結果が複数を示している場合には共連れ退室の行為があったとして警報出力手段5に警報を発するように指令を出し、警報出力手段5から警報を発報させる。   The signal processing means 42 issues a command to issue an alarm to the alarm output means 5 and issues an alarm from the alarm output means 5 on the assumption that there is an action of leaving the room together when the counting result indicates a plurality.

以上のように本実施形態でも、室内側から解錠されたときの共連れ退室も防ぐことができ、特に撮像手段として距離画像撮像手段40’を用いることによって、共連れ検知を高精度良く行える。
(実施形態5)
本実施形態は、距離画像撮像手段40’の距離画像情報から物体抽出を行う動静止人物抽出手段44において、図3(b)に示すように現時刻で撮像した距離画像に対して予め与えてあるカメラパラメータから距離画像上の各画素(画像座標系α)を実空間である室外エリアAでのワールド座標系βに変換することによってワールド座標系βでの3次元マスクを施し、所望の3次元空間内のある人物Mのみを前景として抽出する3次元マスク手段44aを図3(a)に示すよう備えた点に特徴がある。つまり実施形態5では背景距離画像を用いて距離画像背景差分を求めて前景を得ていたが、本実施形態の動静止人物抽出手段44は、3次元マスク位置を設定することで前景を抽出するのである。またガラス窓のような透過物が距離画像撮像手段40’に視野内にある場合には、実施形態では背景撮像時のみ透過物を遮蔽(遮光)するような覆いをかけて背景距離画像を撮像する必要があるが、本実施形態では3次元マスキングによって遮光のために覆いをかけて背景距離画像を撮像する手間を無くすことができ、広い領域でガラス窓などがある場合に特に有効である。尚図3(b)中Fは床を示す。
As described above, even in this embodiment, it is possible to prevent accompanying room leaving when unlocked from the room side, and in particular, by using the distance image imaging unit 40 ′ as the imaging unit, the accompanying detection can be performed with high accuracy. .
(Embodiment 5)
In the present embodiment, the moving and stationary person extracting unit 44 that extracts an object from the distance image information of the distance image capturing unit 40 ′ is given in advance to the distance image captured at the current time as shown in FIG. By converting each pixel (image coordinate system α) on the distance image from a certain camera parameter to a world coordinate system β in the outdoor area A which is a real space, a three-dimensional mask in the world coordinate system β is applied, and a desired 3 3D mask means 44a for extracting only a certain person M in the dimensional space as a foreground is characterized in that it is provided as shown in FIG. That is, in the fifth embodiment, the foreground is obtained by obtaining the distance image background difference using the background distance image. However, the moving / still person extracting unit 44 of the present embodiment extracts the foreground by setting the three-dimensional mask position. It is. In the case where a transmissive object such as a glass window is in the field of view of the distance image capturing means 40 ′, in the fourth embodiment, a background distance image is displayed by covering the transmissive object only during background imaging. Although it is necessary to take an image, in this embodiment, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of covering the background distance image with 3D masking to capture the background distance image, and it is particularly effective when there is a glass window in a wide area. . In FIG. 3B, F indicates a floor.

尚共連れ入室防止、共連れ入室検知、不正退室検知、共連れ退室検知の動作は実施形態4と同じであるので、図3(a),(b)において、図2(a),(b)と同じ構成要素には同じ符号を付し、説明は省略する。
(実施形態6)
本実施形態は、撮像手段の位置から被写体の各位置までの距離値を画素値として得られる距離画像の特徴を生かし、図4に示すように動静止人物抽出手段44で抽出した前景(人物)の体積、身長、3次元形状等の3次元特徴量を抽出する3次元特徴量抽出手段45を付加した点に特徴がある。例えば、濃淡画像のような平面から抽出する面積に対して高次元の体積を抽出し、その体積の大きさからエリア滞在人数計数手段41や通過人数計数手段43で前景に存在する人の数を計数するのである。これにより精度良い人数計数を行うことができる。
Since the operations of preventing accompanying room entry, detecting accompanying room entry, detecting unauthorized room leaving, and detecting leaving together room are the same as those in the fourth embodiment, FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) are similar to FIGS. ), The same components as those in FIG.
(Embodiment 6)
In the present embodiment, the foreground (person) extracted by the moving and stationary person extracting means 44 as shown in FIG. 4 utilizing the characteristics of the distance image obtained by using the distance value from the position of the imaging means to each position of the subject as a pixel value. 3D feature quantity extraction means 45 for extracting 3D feature quantities such as volume, height, 3D shape, etc. is added. For example, a high-dimensional volume is extracted with respect to an area extracted from a plane such as a grayscale image, and the number of people existing in the foreground is calculated from the size of the volume by the area visitor counting means 41 and the passing person counting means 43. Count. This makes it possible to perform accurate counting of people.

更に身長を抽出してその身長により大人と子供とを識別し、大人では入室可、子供では入室不可というような入室ルールを信号処理手段42に持たせ、錠手段1の施錠/解錠の制御を行うことも可能となる。 Further, the height is extracted and the adult and the child are identified based on the height, and the signal processing means 42 has a room entry rule that the adult can enter the room and the child cannot enter the room, and the lock / unlock control of the lock means 1 is controlled. Can also be performed.

尚共連れ入室防止、共連れ入室検知、不正退室検知、共連れ退室検知の動作は実施形態5と同じであるので説明は省略し、また3次元特徴量抽出手段45以外は、図3(a)の回路構成と同じであるので、同じ構成要素には同じ符号を付し、説明は省略する。
(実施形態7)
本実施形態は実施形態の3次元特徴量抽出手段45で抽出する3次元特徴量を利用してID認識手段3の操作者が登録されている人物か判断し、セキュリティ性を向上させるようにしたものである。
The operations of the accompanying room prevention, the accompanying room entry detection, the unauthorized leaving detection, and the accompanying room leaving detection are the same as those in the fifth embodiment, and thus the description thereof will be omitted. Except for the three-dimensional feature quantity extraction means 45, FIG. ), The same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.
(Embodiment 7)
In the present embodiment, it is determined whether the operator of the ID recognition unit 3 is a registered person by using the three-dimensional feature amount extracted by the three-dimensional feature amount extraction unit 45 of the sixth embodiment, and the security is improved. It is what.

つまり本実施形態では図5に示すようにIDを登録している人物の身体特徴(3次元特徴量)の情報をID認識手段3内に設けた身体特徴情報記録手段3aに予めIDに関連付けて記録しておき、入室しようとする者がID認識手段3を操作してID入力を行うと、ID認識手段3はID認証結果と、当該IDに対応付けてある身体特徴情報を画像監視手段4内の3次元特徴量照合手段46へ信号処理手段42を通じて送るようになっている。ここで身体特徴情報は当該人物の体格(体の大きさ(体積)、身長)、車いすやカートの使用の有無等の情報からなる。   In other words, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, information on the body features (three-dimensional feature amounts) of the person whose ID is registered is associated with the ID in advance in the body feature information recording unit 3a provided in the ID recognition unit 3. When the person who wants to enter the room inputs the ID by operating the ID recognition unit 3, the ID recognition unit 3 displays the ID authentication result and the body characteristic information associated with the ID as the image monitoring unit 4. The information is sent to the three-dimensional feature amount matching means 46 through the signal processing means 42. Here, the body feature information includes information such as the person's physique (body size (volume), height), whether or not a wheelchair or a cart is used.

画像監視手段4では距離画像撮像手段40’が撮像する室外エリアAの距離画像と背景距離画像とから動静止人物抽出手段44が室外エリアAの滞在物体を抽出し、この抽出した滞在物体の距離画像情報から更に3次元特徴量抽出手段45が滞在物体の3次元特徴量を抽出する。この場合抽出した3次元特徴量は3次元特徴量照合手段46に取り込まれる。3次元特徴量照合手段46は、取り込んだ3次元特徴量と、ID認識手段3から送られてきている身体特徴情報との照合を行い、両者に相関があれば照合一致とする。この照合一致の信号は信号処理手段42に送られる。信号処理手段42は照合一致の信号があり且つエリア滞在人数計数手段41の計数が単数であると、錠制御手段2に対して錠手段1を解錠する解除指令を出力する。一方信号処理手段42は照合一致がなければID操作した人物が登録されている人物と異なると判断し、この場合解錠指令を錠制御手段2へ出力せず、施錠状態を維持する。   In the image monitoring unit 4, the moving and stationary person extracting unit 44 extracts the staying object in the outdoor area A from the distance image of the outdoor area A and the background distance image captured by the distance image capturing unit 40 ′, and the distance of the extracted staying object Further, the three-dimensional feature quantity extraction means 45 extracts the three-dimensional feature quantity of the staying object from the image information. In this case, the extracted three-dimensional feature value is taken into the three-dimensional feature value matching unit 46. The three-dimensional feature amount matching unit 46 compares the acquired three-dimensional feature amount with the body feature information sent from the ID recognition unit 3, and if there is a correlation between the two, the match is confirmed. This verification coincidence signal is sent to the signal processing means 42. The signal processing means 42 outputs a release command for unlocking the lock means 1 to the lock control means 2 when there is a collation match signal and the area visitor counting means 41 has a single count. On the other hand, if there is no collation match, the signal processing means 42 determines that the person who performed the ID operation is different from the registered person. In this case, the unlocking command is not output to the lock control means 2 and the locked state is maintained.

本実施形態では、ID認識と身体特徴の照合とでセキュリティ性を高めた解錠制御を行うことで、なりすまし人物の入室を確実に防ぐことができるのである。   In this embodiment, by performing unlocking control with improved security by ID recognition and body feature collation, it is possible to reliably prevent a spoofed person from entering the room.

尚共連れ入室防止、共連れ入室検知、不正退室検知、共連れ退室検知の動作は実施形態5と同じであるので、説明は省略する。また3次元特徴量照合に係る構成以外は図4の構成と同じであるので、図5において図4と同じ構成要素には同じ符号を付し、説明は省略する。   The operations of preventing accompanying room entry, detecting entering together room, detecting unauthorized leaving, and detecting leaving together room are the same as those in the fifth embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted. Since the configuration other than the configuration related to the three-dimensional feature amount matching is the same as the configuration in FIG. 4, the same components as those in FIG. 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals in FIG.
