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 sheet-type pressure sensor provided on a floor of the passage and having a same shape as a region of a guide pattern indicating a route to the gate and extending beneath the region of the guide pattern while overlapping the region of the guide pattern, determine whether an area ratio of a reacting region of the pressure sensor is equal to or more than a threshold; and
in a case when the area 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 . The gate apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the guide pattern has a shape of a footprint.
4 . 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 sheet-type pressure sensor provided on a floor of the place requiring identity verification and having a same shape as a region of a guide pattern indicating a route to the gate and extending beneath the region of the guide pattern while overlapping the region of the guide pattern, 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 an area ratio of a reacting region of the pressure sensor is equal to or more than a threshold, by using the sheet-type pressure sensor; and
in a case when the area ratio is equal to or more than the threshold, execute imaging from a side of the place requiring identity verification.
5 . A control method for a gate apparatus comprising:
by a gate apparatus,
by using a sheet-type pressure sensor provided on a floor of a passage and having a same shape as a region of a guide pattern indicating a route to a gate and extending beneath the region of the guide pattern while overlapping the region of the guide pattern, determining whether an area ratio of a reacting region of the pressure sensor is equal to or more than a threshold; and
in a case when the area ratio is equal to or more than the threshold, executing imaging a person passing through the passage leading to the gate from a side of the passage.
