Gate system, gate apparatus, control method therefor, and program
A gate apparatus ( 10 ) includes an imaging unit ( 102 ) that images a person passing through a passage leading to a gate, an acquisition unit ( 104 ) that acquires a detection result from a detection unit which is provided on a floor of the passage, and a control unit ( 106 ) that controls, by using the detection result acquired by the acquisition unit ( 104 ), imaging timing of an imaging unit ( 102 ).
1. A gate apparatus comprising:
at least one memory configured to store instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
image a person passing through a passage leading to a gate;
by using a plurality of sensors provided on a floor of the passage and embedded in an area of a guide pattern indicating a route to the gate, determine whether a ratio of a number of the sensors outputting an ON signal to a total number of the sensors is equal to or more than a threshold; and
in a case when the ratio is equal to or more than the threshold, execute imaging from a side of the passage.
2. The gate apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to
perform predetermined output when having determined that there is not appropriate timing for imaging to be executed.
3. A gate system comprising:
a gate apparatus; and
a guide pattern indicating a route to a stepping position for a person in a place requiring identity verification, the guide pattern including a foot mark region;
a plurality of sensors provided on a floor of the place requiring identity verification and embedded in an area of the foot mark region, wherein
the gate apparatus includes
at least one memory configured to store instructions, and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
image a person as a verification target in the place requiring identity verification;
determine whether a ratio of a number of the sensors outputting an ON signal to a total number of the sensors is equal to or more than a threshold;
in a case when the ratio is equal to or more than the threshold, execute imaging from a side of the place requiring identity verification.
4. A control method for a gate apparatus comprising:
by a gate apparatus,
by using a plurality of sensors provided on a floor of a passage and embedded in an area of a guide pattern indicating a route to a gate, determining whether a ratio of a number of the sensors outputting an ON signal to a total number of the sensors is equal to or more than a threshold; and
in a case when the ratio is equal to or more than the threshold, executing imaging timing for imaging a person passing through the passage leading to the gate from a side of the passage.
5. The gate apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the guide pattern has a shape of a footprint.
