Abstract: A smart badge, and a method, system and computer program product for badge detection and compliance are disclosed. The method, carried out within a security system, includes capturing, using a camera, an image of a person. The captured image includes a face of the person within a first pixel region of the image. The method also includes performing facial recognition on the first pixel region to determine an identity of the person. The method also includes performing video analytics, on a second pixel region of the image, different than the first pixel region, to make a first determination that the identified person is wearing a badge, or to make a second determination that no badge is being properly worn by the identified person. The method also includes generating an alert, specific to the identified person, within the security system based at least in part on the first or second determination.

Abstract: A device, system and method for controlling a passage barrier mechanism is provided. While failing to detect, via a biometric imaging system in communication with a passage barrier mechanism, unauthorized users in a first area of interest of the biometric imaging system, a device: maintains the passage barrier mechanism in a multiple entry state in which multiple users at a time authenticate, via the biometric imaging system, and enter therethrough. Responsive to detecting, via the biometric imaging system, an unauthorized user in the first area of interest, the device: transitions the passage barrier mechanism from the multiple entry state to a single entry state in which only a single user at a time authenticates, via the biometric imaging system, and enters therethrough; and changes a biometric authentication range of the biometric imaging system from the first area of interest to a smaller second area of interest.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, comprising: detecting presence of an object of interest within a plurality of image frames received from a sensor; determining that the object of interest is moving towards an automatic door that is configured to close within a predetermined time period; determining, based on position, speed and direction of the object of interest, a likelihood that the object of interest may impede closing of the automatic door; and when the likelihood exceeds a threshold value, maintaining the automatic door in an open position for a longer period of time than the predetermined time period.
