Abstract

The safety device uses a 3-D camera (12) for providing 3-dimensional images of a monitored area, which are evaluated for detecting a person or an object and providing their location and a 2-D camera (16) recording images of the region of the monitored area containing the person or object location, evaluated for confirming the previous identification. An Independent claim for a method for locating and identifying persons or objects is also included.
