指出计算机视觉是一种通过单目或多目移动或静止观察者拍摄的移动或静止物体或场景的一幅或一系列图像来理解物体或场景及其三维特性的方法。介绍了计算机视觉在暖通空调系统常规PID控制中的应用。解释了通过采用能够估计空调空间内居民数量的计算机视觉，如何能够在几秒钟内识别任何突变，而传统传感器无法与之相比。 计算机模拟表明，在响应速度和节能方面都有显著的改进。介绍与计算机视觉系统相关的硬件和软件开发，以及HVAC控制的两种模式——步进控制和人体跟踪。关键词:1995年，供暖，通风，空调，计算机，视觉，摄像头，控制，计算引用:研讨会，ASHRAE Trans。1995年，第101卷，第2部分

States that computer vision is an approach that understands the object or the scene and its three-dimensional properties from one or a sequence of images of a moving or stationary object or scene, taken by monocular or polyocular moving or stationary observers. Describes the application of computer vision to assist the conventional PID control for HVAC systems. Explains how, by adopting a computer vision that can estimate the number of residents within an air conditioned space, it is possible to identify any abrupt changes within seconds, to which conventional transducers are in no way comparable. Shows by a computer simulation that there are significant improvements with respect to both response rate and energy saving. Describes the hardware and software developments associated with the computer vision system and two modes of HVAC control - step control and human tracking.KEYWORDS: year 1995, Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, computers, vision, cameras, controls, calculating
