METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OBJECT DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION

The present invention regards a detection device (1) comprising: a sensor configured to emit a monitoring signal representing a scene (S), a control unit (4) connected to the sensor. The control unit is configured to: receive the monitoring signal from the sensor, estimate a three-dimensional representation of the scene (S) as a function of said monitoring signal, determine an inspection region (V) from the three-dimensional representation of the scene, provide a classifier with a representation of the inspection region (V), determine - by means of the classifier and based on the representation of the inspection region (V) - the presence of people (P) and/or specific objects (C) in the representation of said inspection region (V). The present invention further regards a detection method.
