  • Method and system for configuring a monitoring device for monitoring a spatial area
    Patent number: 9695980
    Abstract: A failsafe monitoring device for monitoring a spatial area comprises at least one image recording unit. A three-dimensional image of the spatial area is recorded and a representation of said three-dimensional image is displayed in order to configure the monitoring device. A configuration plane is defined using a plurality of spatial points which have been determined within the three-dimensional image. Subsequently, at least one variable geometry element is defined relative to the configuration plane. A data record which represents a transformation of the geometry element into the spatial area is generated and transferred to the monitoring device.
