摘要： An apparatus for detecting people waiting for an elevator. A detecting unit detects the number of people waiting on the basis of an image from an image pickup unit and delivers that number to a corresponding second people waiting detecting unit. The apparatus includes a unit which generates a coefficient depending on a percentage of overlap of the field of view of a reference image pickup unit, which is one of several image pickup units, with the field of view of a different image pickup unit on the basis of data on the allocation of an elevator, and calculates the number of waiting people in the overall hall from the respective numbers of waiting people output from the plurality of image pickup units and those coefficients. The coefficient generating unit generates a maximum coefficient for the reference image pickup unit and a smaller coefficient for any remaining image pickup unit based on the of overlap of the field of view of the respective image pickup units. Thus, even if the fields of view of the plurality of image pickup units overlap, an accurate number of people waiting in the elevator hall, and free from an error in detection, is detected.

摘要： An image of an elevator hall or an inside of elevator car is acquired by photographing apparatus, and the number of waiting passenger is detected by comparing the above-mentioned image with a background image when no passenger is present at the elevator hall. Second image processing apparatus with high precision is prepared by the same image information as that of first image processing apparatus, teacher information derived therefrom is compared with an output from the first image processing apparatus. If the teacher information is not coincident with the output from the first image processing means, parameters required for performing the image process by the first image processing appartus, for instance, constants, threshold values and weight coefficients employed in an image processing algorithm are adjusted.

摘要： An elevator control system for controlling movement of cages up and down in accordance with the situation of waiting persons in landing places or passengers in the cages detected by image pickup devices and other detecting devices includes first and second image processors, the image processing level of the second image processor being not lower than that of the first image processor. The system further includes an elevator controller for controlling movement of the cages up and down, the elevator controller including a device for applying the result of image processing performed by the first image processor to the control of the cages, and a device for applying the result of image processing performed by the second image processor to the control of the cages when the image processing is carried out based on the result of image processing performed by the first image processor and other information pertaining to passengers and waiting persons detected by the other detecting devices.
