Abstract
An access gate device includes one or more 3D cameras arranged at least on an entry side of the access gate device and a control unit. Each of the one or more 3D cameras is configured to provide 3D depth data of a view range of said 3D camera. The control unit is configured to: define at least two consecutive volumetric detection zones in front of the access gate device at least on the entry side, detect a presence of at least one user inside at least one of the volumetric detection zones on the entry side based on the 3D depth data obtained from at least one of the at least one or more 3D cameras arranged on the entry side, and generate detection data in response to the detection of the presence of the at least one user for controlling access of users via the access gate device. A method for controlling an access gate device is also disclosed.
