METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING A DAMAGED COMPONENT OF A MACHINE

摘要

A method and system for detecting a damaged machine component during operation of the machine are provided. The damaged machine component detection system includes one or more processors, one or more memory devices communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, an image capture device configured to generate a stream of temporally-spaced images of a scene including a machine component of interest, the images generated in real-time, and a grouping model configured to compare features of a current image of the stream of images to features of previously captured images sorted into a plurality of groups of images having similar features, generate an alert if predetermined features of the current image deviate from corresponding features of the grouped images by a predetermined amount, and update the groups with the current image if the predetermined features of the current image are similar to corresponding features of the grouped images by a predetermined amount. The system also includes an output device configured to output at least one of the alert and the current image.

主权项

1. A damaged machine component detection system comprising:
a processor; a memory device communicatively coupled to said processor; an image capture device configured to generate a stream of temporally-spaced images of a scene including a machine component of interest, the images generated in real-time; a grouping model configured to:
compare predetermined features of at least a portion of a current image of the stream of images to corresponding features of at least a corresponding portion of previously captured images, the previously captured images sorted into a plurality of groups based on a similarity of the predetermined features in the previously captured images;generate an alert if the predetermined features of the current image and a predetermined number of successive images deviate from corresponding features of the grouped images by greater than a predetermined amount; andupdate the groups with the current image if the predetermined features of the current image deviate from the corresponding features of the grouped images by greater than a predetermined amount.
