CABIN MONITORING SYSTEM AND CABIN OF AIRCRAFT OR SPACECRAFT

摘要

A monitoring system to be installed in a cabin (100a-100c) of an aircraft (100) or spacecraft for passenger transportation comprises at least one imaging device and at least one output device. Information displayed by the output device comprises indication of whether a passenger seat (110) in the cabin is occupied or empty. For more reliable information, several types of imaging devices may be used within the system, in particular selected among a visible light camera, a near-infrared lighting source combined with a near-infrared camera, a thermal camera, and a range imaging device.
