A tracking system for tracking objects within a field of view is disclosed. The field of view may include a first zone and an adjacent zone of interest where at least two gates are associated with respective sides of the first zone within the field of view. The first camera is configured to detect when an object crosses one of the at least two gates and track the object throughout the first zone and the zone of interest. The tracking system is configured to generate a first event message in response to the object being tracked from one of the gates into the zone of interest and subsequently leaving the first zone through a dedicated gate of the at least two gates.

Tracking system, arrangement and method for tracking objects

An image signal indicative of the head pose of a person in a scene, as provided by a camera may be processed by estimating, as a function of the image signal received by the image sensor, the head pose of the person. A view frustum of the person may be generated from the estimated head pose. A visual frustum of attention or VFOA of the person may be generated from the view frustum. From the visual frustum, a predicted movement trajectory of the person or an estimated scene attention map as a function of the visual frustum of attention, preferably by identifying in the attention map at least one object to be controlled may be generated.

Method of view frustum detection and a corresponding system and product

The presence of a stationary object is to be reliably recognized. Thereto, a presence detection device for detecting a presence of an object in its environment is provided, which comprises a movement detection unit for detecting an initial movement of the object in the environment of the presence detection device and for outputting a movement signal depending on the detection as well as a control unit for generating an activation signal depending on the movement signal. Moreover, the presence detection device comprises a camera, which can be activated by the activation signal, for obtaining a video signal of the environment of the presence detection device and an evaluation unit for generating a presence signal relating to the presence of the object by evaluating the video signal.

Detection of the presence of static objects

A lighting system including a set of lighting devices for lighting an environment that may be controlled by a method. The method may include receiving, from one or more image sensors (e.g. a RGB-D camera&#x2014;W), an image signal including a sequence of images of the environment under different conditions of illumination and light reflection. The method may further include processing the image signal to provide a light source identification signal representative of light sources affecting the environment, and controlling the lighting devices as a function of the light source identification signal, and, possibly, of human occupancy and activity.
