Abstract: An elevator monitoring system and method includes cabin-based radars monitor doors and passengers within a cabin; waiting zone radars monitor passengers in a waiting zone; a central processor analyzes data from the various monitors and executes an elevator control function to control the elevator system. The door state is determined by detecting reflections from internal angles within the cabin and a door management system manages door operation safely by monitoring a proximal zone around the automatic door, detecting moving objects and obstructions.

Abstract: A method of identifying suspicious movements in video images, comprising: examining a video stream, in a first video motion detection (VMD) stage, to identify sequences of a plurality of video frames in which the video frames together indicate a possibility of movement of an object within the video stream; initiating operation of a second VMD stage on the video stream, which includes analyzing the pixel content of frames of the video stream to identify suspect objects, responsive to an indication from the first VMD stage; and providing an indication of a suspicious movement if the second VMD resulted in an identification of movement of a suspect object.
