An automatic door system () comprises at least one door leaf () which can be moved by a drive apparatus (). A control device () is designed to control the drive apparatus () in such a way that the latter moves the at least one door leaf (). A sensor device () comprises a first area scan camera () which comprises an image sensor, the first area scan camera () being designed to generate first image data from a detection area () within which the automatic door system () can be monitored. The control device () is designed to determine whether the at least one door leaf () can be moved safely by means of a detailed analysis based on at least a portion of the first image data from the first area scan camera () and at least one additional piece of information (). The sensor device () comprises an information-generating device () which is separate from the first area scan camera () and contributes to the generation of the at least one piece of additional information ().

Automatic door assembly having a sensor device, and method for operating an automatic door assembly of this kind

An improved method and an improved apparatus for operating an automatic door system are distinguished by the following features, inter alia: —a sensor device () is used, which implements a monitoring region () assigned to and/or disposed upstream of the leaves () for the detection of objects (P, G) which are situated and/or moving in said monitoring region (), —by means of the sensor device () and/or by means of the control and/or evaluation device (), an object (P, G) situated in the monitoring region () is detected with regard to the position and direction of movement of said object and also with regard to the width, size and/or contour (K) or overall contour () of said object, and —depending on the movement-dependent position and direction of movement () and also the width, size and/or contour (K) or overall contour () of the detected object (P, G), the at least one leaf () is moved, in particular opened, readjusted and/or closed, in an object-related manner.
