Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0908854A2] The detection system uses a laser beam to optically scan the controlled space. The beam is emitted at regular intervals from a source (2) above the persons (3) or objects (4) in the controlled space. The light beam is directed downward, approximately perpendicular to the surface (R) supporting the person or object. The reflected light is detected, and the time shift between light reflected from the person or object and light reflected from the support surface is detected.
