  Platform edge fall experiment (JR Ushiku station)   Experimental Conditions

Color images of Ushiku Station.
In Ushiku station, scenes of falling and assumed dangerous situations are captured on Platform 3. The actions of falling from the platform, sitting, sleeping, neglect of cargo on the platform, etc. were recorded for both of the platform edge and railroad edge. We also recorded some boxes and chairs as some cargos left on the platform. It was confirmed that the existence of a person on the platform could be surely detected at all times.

  Platform edge monitoring experiment (Tokyu Yokohama station)   Experimental Conditions

3D Reconstruction of monitoring area (Tokyu Yokohama Station).
At Yokohama station, five stereo cameras were placed in a row at the platform edge of Track No.1, and actual passengers' coming and going were captured continuously from the first to the last train. The capturing range overlapped with the next camera, and one coach (18m) was perfectly covered. 3D reconstruction image is shown above.

DEMO MOVIE    Real scene

Passenger recognition during morning rush hour (Tokyu Yokohama Station).
The right figure shows the passenger recognition results at rush hour at 8:00 am. This is the most difficult time of day for filming, because morning sunlight streams in from the opposite windows and it causes people's shadows on the platform. Furthermore, the dynamic range exhibits extreme fluctuations. Yet we demonstrated that even under these difficult conditions, individual passengers could be well differentiated in a congested situation from the stereo range images.

DEMO MOVIE    Results

Passengerfs traffic line management by USV.
The right figure shows the flow of all passengers in the monitoring area. The color images in the five windows shows the textures that were shot from the ceiling cameras. The line plotted at each window shows the traffic line of passengers viewed by the cameras. The elongated window at the lower right shows the entire monitoring area, which indicates the direction passengers are currently flowing.
