Abstract: A gesture-based interaction system for communication with an equipment-based system includes a sensor device and a signal processing unit. The sensor device is configured to capture at least one scene of a user to monitor for at least one gesture of a plurality of possible gestures, conducted by the user, and output a captured signal. The signal processing unit includes a processor configured to execute recognition software and a storage medium configured to store pre-defined gesture data. The signal processing unit is configured to receive the captured signal, process the captured signal by at least comparing the captured signal to the pre-defined gesture data for determining if at least one gesture of the plurality of possible gestures are portrayed in the at least one scene, and output a command signal associated with the at least one gesture to the equipment-based system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of passenger conveyor technologies, and provides a monitoring system of a passenger conveyor and a monitoring method thereof. In the monitoring system and detection method of the present invention, a monitored object of the passenger conveyor is sensed by using an imaging sensor and/or a depth sensing sensor to acquire a data frame, and the data frame is analyzed by a processing apparatus to monitor whether the monitored object is in a normal state. The monitored object may include a landing plate, a step, a barrier used in a maintenance and repair working condition and/or a step speed, and the like.
