Control of Automatic Door by Using Kinect Sensor

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to control opening and closing of the automatic door for pedestrian approach to the door by using Kinect sensor. Distance between them and the door, moving direction and velocity of them are estimated by Kinect sensor. Direction of their bodies and faces determine moving direction of them. Once they are approaching the door, time to when the door opens is calculated from the distance between them and the door. The validity of the control by using algorithm of the door is discussed in four experiments for 10 examinees.
