A system for determining a position characteristic for an object in a room comprises an optically identifiable element (103) positioned on a background surface for a detection area of the room. A camera (101) is positioned across the detection area from the optically identifiable element (103) and captures an image comprising the detection area and the optically identifiable element (103). A detector (403) detects the optically identifiable element (103) in the image based on an optical property. An occlusion processor (405) determines an occlusion property for an occlusion of the optically identifiable element (103) in the image in response to the optical property. A position processor (407) determines a depth position in response to the occlusion property where, the depth position is indicative of a position of the object along the optical axis of the camera (101). The invention may for example allow presence detection and rough localization of a person in a room. |
