Further, in the technique of (b), the color detection method alone is used for a specific color (for example, a yellow helmet or a yellow clothing).

It is difficult to distinguish when there are nearby. Therefore, when used in combination with an alarm device at a construction site, even a worker in a safe place far away from construction machinery can detect the yellow helmet or yellow clothing color (yellow) and issue an alarm. There was an inconvenience that it might happen.

In the present embodiment, the image pickup section A is configured to have two optical systems for stereoscopic image pickup and one image pickup element, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the image pickup section A is, for example, two cameras ( This can also be realized by disposing independent cameras on each of the R and L optical axes in FIG. 2 and using one image pickup device for each. In this case, in FIG. 5, the variable delay line 8 is H / 2 ± τ.

The warning device according to the second aspect of the present invention can give a notification according to the distance by the level of the output signal from the color detection device according to the first aspect of the invention. In this case, a warning sound or the like can be prevented from being emitted to a person in a safe position (for example, the safety zone of the construction machine) even if the specific color is detected. In addition, by adding a simple optical system with two optical paths to one color camera, not only the desired color can be detected but the distance to the subject can be roughly measured. If applied to the yellow detection device, different alarms will be issued depending on whether the worker is near or slightly away, and if the worker is in the safety zone, the alarm will not be issued even if the color is detected. Work is possible.
