  • Publication number: 20210124934
    Abstract: Provided is a technology for monitoring vehicle doors of a train that achieves monitoring with substantially no downtime when any one of multiple monitoring cameras breaks down. A first to a fourth monitoring camera attached outside of a vehicle to monitor a first to a fourth door of the vehicle. A first monitoring camera and a second monitoring camera are paired with each other, and a third monitoring camera and a fourth monitoring camera are paired with each other. If the first monitoring camera breaks down, the second monitoring camera captures areas of both the first door and the second door, and trims and extracts each of the areas.

  • Patent number: 10864927
    Abstract: Provided is a technology for monitoring train doors which improves the accuracy of detection of trapping in vehicle doors. A server compares the difference between a static image (reference image 91), from each monitoring camera, of a normal state in which there is no trapping in vehicle doors, said static images being held in the server in advance, and a static image (an observation image 92) first acquired in a prescribed acquisition time. If a difference is present, the difference (difference image 94) between the reference image 91 and the observation image 92 acquired in the acquisition time is acquired. A quadrilateral F which covers the four sides of an object constituting the difference is subsequently rendered, the centre point of the quadrilateral is obtained, it is determined that trapping has occurred if movement of a centre coordinate C1, C2, . . . Cn, i.e.
