Image processing apparatus having apparatus for correcting the image processing

A group-supervised elevator controlling apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of elevator cars for providing service to multiple floors;
• destination calling means provided within said plural cars;
• elevator control means for stopping the car at the floor corresponding to at least said elevator calling;
• hall calling means provided at each of floors;
• group supervising control means for determining the served car in response to at least the hall calling;
• a plurality of photographing means provided at arbitrary floors for outputting image information;
• first image processing means, provided with the corresponding floors, for selectively inputting said image information and recognizing the number of waiting passengers at the floors by performing a first image processing on said image information based on a first image processing algorithm;
• means for transferring outputs of said first image processing means to said group supervising control means;
• second image processing means for selectively inputting said image information and recognizing the number of waiting passengers at the relevant floors by performing a second image processing on said image information based on a second image processing algorithm different from said first image processing algorithm;
• and
• means for correcting either said first image processing algorithm, a parameter thereof for said first image processing means based upon an output from said second image processing means.

An image processing apparatus wherein image information is inputted to first image processing means which performs an image processing on said image information based on a predetermined image processing algorithm, comprising:

• means for generating teacher information related to a result of said image processing from said image processing means;
• and
• means for correcting either said image processing algorithm, or a parameter thereof based upon said teacher information;
• a plurality of elevator cars for providing service to multiple floors;
• destination calling means provided within said plural cars;
• elevator control means for stopping the car at the floor corresponding to at least said elevator calling;
• hall calling means provided at each of floors;
• group supervising control means for determining the served car in response to at least the hall calling;
• a plurality of photographing means provided at arbitrary floors for outputting image information;
• said first image processing means being provided with the corresponding floors, for selectively inputting said image information and recognizing the number of waiting passengers on the floors by performing a first image processing on said image information based on a first image process algorithm;
• means for transferring outputs of said first image processing means to said group supervising control means;
• said teacher information generating means being second image processing means for selectively inputting said image information and recognizing the number of waiting passengers at the relevant floors by performing a second image processing on said image information based on a second image processing algorithm different from said first image processing algorithm;
• and
• said means for correcting corrects either said first image processing algorithm, or a parameter thereof for said first image processing means based upon an output from said second image processing means.
