1. A control system for an elevator, comprising:
- a capture apparatus capturing images of each floor;
a processor coupled to the capture apparatus; and
a storage apparatus coupled to the processor and storing a plurality of programs to be executed by the processor to perform certain functions, the storage apparatus comprising a plurality of units configured to be executed by the processor, the units comprising;
a detecting unit configured to perform human detection on images of each floor to determine whether the images of each floor contains passengers; and
a processing unit configured to calculate the number of passengers of each floor, in response to at least one passenger detecting within the images of corresponding floor, and calculating waiting time of each floor beginning at the time a first passenger being detected within the images of corresponding floor;
wherein the processing unit is configured to calculate weight of the passengers at each floor based on the number of passengers and waiting time and control the elevator to the floor corresponding to the maximum weight.

Abstract
A control system for elevators includes a capture apparatus, a processor and a storage apparatus. The capture apparatus captures images of each floor. The processor performs human detection on images of each floor to calculate the number of waiting passengers of each floor. The processor further calculates waiting time of each floor. The processor calculates weight of each floor based on the number of the waiting passengers and waiting time, and controls the elevator to the floor with maximum weight.
