Abstract: A device for monitoring the door area around a that is at least partially glazed door is provided. A transmitter emits a transmission pulse of electromagnetic radiation. An image recorder comprises a receiver matrix having a first receiver blocks which has a plurality of first receivers. The first receivers receive reflected signal components of the transmission pulse. Each first receiver has a memory unit which is designed to integrate and store the reflected signal components received. A control unit triggers a transmission pulse of the transmitter and activates the first receivers for a predetermined first receiving period. An evaluation unit compares topography image data with stored reference image data or compares a respective distance value with a stored reference value for a door area free of objects.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor system for checking a vein pattern. The sensor system comprises a first light source that is configured to emit during operation across the entire surface electromagnetic waves with wavelengths in the near infrared range, which are absorbed by hemoglobin. Furthermore, the sensor system comprises a second light source that is configured to emit during operation across the entire surface electromagnetic waves with wavelengths in the range of visible light. Furthermore, the sensor system comprises a camera with a first camera chip that is configured to record reflected electromagnetic waves with wavelengths in the near infrared range and to convert them into a corresponding infrared image, and with a second camera chip that is configured to record reflected electromagnetic waves with wavelengths in the range of visible light and to convert them into a corresponding photographic image.

Abstract: A registration system for classifying an object, comprising a sensor unit, an evaluation unit, a memory unit and a data-processing unit. The evaluation unit determines a structure data set or a temporal sequence of structure data sets of the object to be registered from a temporal progression of the radiation captured by the sensor assembly. The memory unit stores association rules, each associated with a set of situation parameters. The data-processing unit accesses the structure data set or a temporal sequence of structure data sets, the current situation parameter set, and the association rule associated with the current parameter set and to associate an object with an object class on the basis of the structure data set associated with the object or a temporal sequence of structure data sets by using an association rule associated with the current situation parameter set and received from the memory unit.

Abstract: A detection device for detecting persons or objects and the direction of movement thereof comprising a radiation sensor arrangement for detecting electromagnetic radiation of the wavelength of visible and/or invisible light which is reflected or emitted by a person or an object, and an evaluation unit which is connected to the sensor arrangement, wherein the evaluation unit is adapted to form a variation signal which corresponds to the time variation of the radiation detected by the radiation sensor arrangement and is connected to a store which is adapted to store at least a portion of the variation signal and a characteristic parameter associated with the variation signal.
