CONTROL COMPUTER AND METHOD FOR MONITORING SAFETY OF PARKING UNITS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for monitoring safety of a moving parking unit in a mechanical parking system using a control computer comprising a processor, the method comprising execution of the steps comprising:
- obtaining digital images captured by one or more image capturing devices positioned on the moving parking unit;
detecting a three dimensional (3D) figure area in each of the digital images; and
cutting off power supplies of the moving parking unit using a safety device of the mechanical parking system upon the condition that the 3D figure area has been detected.

Abstract
A method for monitoring safety of a moving parking unit in a mechanical parking system using a control computer, digital images are captured by one or more image capturing devices positioned on the moving parking unit. The method detects a three dimensional (3D) figure area in each digital image, and controls area safety device to cut of power suppliers of the moving parking unit if the 3D figure area has been detected. The method further outputs alarm messages by lighting one or more signal lamps of the mechanical parking system.
