Apparatus and method for intelligent video surveillance of industrial console operations

摘要

A method implemented in an operator console includes receiving a captured image of an operator at the operator console. The method also includes identifying whether the operator captured in the image is authorized to use the operator console. The method further includes performing a function based on whether the operator is authorized to use the operator console. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more executable instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to receive a captured image from a camera including an image of an operator at the operator console. The non-transitory computer-readable medium comprises one or more executable instruction that, when executed by processing circuitry, also cause the processing circuitry to identify whether the operator captured in the image is authorized to use the operator console and perform a function based on whether the operator is authorized to use the operator console.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving a captured image of an operator at an operator console of an industrial process control and automation system; identifying whether the operator captured in the image is authorized to use the operator console; and performing a function based on whether the operator is authorized to use the operator console, wherein the function comprises, in response to determining that the operator captured in the image is not authorized:
activating an alarm; andstoring an identification of one or more commanded sensors or actuators of the industrial process control and automation system that correlate with a time the image was captured.
