Abstract: Une entrée non autorisée dans des zones à accès contrôlé au moyen de procédés d'accès à califourchon ou d'écriture contrepassée est détectée grâce à des procédés de vision artificielle. Des images de caméra de la zone contrôlée sont traitées afin d'identifier et de suivre des objets dans la zone contrôlée. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, ce traitement comprend une analyse de surface 3D afin de distinguer et de classer des objets dans le champ de vision. L'extraction de caractéristiques, l'analyse de couleurs, et la reconnaissance de formes permettent également d'identifier et de suivre des objets. La synthèse de systèmes de surveillance et de contrôle de la sécurité fournit un avertissement lorsque un accès à califourchon ou une écriture contrepassée s'est produit(e). Un fonctionnement plus fiable en situation réelle est ainsi obtenu, par exemple lorsque plusieurs personnes utilisent une entrée ou une sortie dans des conditions de lumière et d'ombre variables. Des systèmes de contrôle à accès électronique peuvent être aussi combinés avec les procédés de vision artificielle afin d'empêcher de manière plus efficace l'accès à califourchon ou l'écriture contrepassée.
