Operations Monitoring in an Area

摘要

A solution for monitoring an area including one or more restricted zones is provided. The solution can include one or more monitoring assemblies deployed to acquire image data of the area and independently monitor operations within the area at each monitoring assembly. A monitoring assembly can include one or more local alert components to generate an audible or visual alarm to local personnel. Data regarding static features present in the area can be used to create a registration map of the field of view, which can subsequently enable accurate determination of the three-dimensional location of a target using two-dimensional image data and/or identify an extent of a restricted zone even when one or more of the static features are obscured. Monitoring a target over a series of images can be used to determine whether an alert condition is present.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a monitoring assembly including:
a set of cameras, wherein the set of cameras includes at least one near infrared camera;a set of local alert components; anda computer system configured to monitor operations in a region by performing a method including:
determining a location of a target at least partially visible in image data acquired by the set of cameras using data corresponding to a plurality of static features present in the region;evaluating the location with respect to at least one restricted zone in the region;in response to the evaluating indicating the target is at least partially located within a restricted zone, determining a presence of an alert condition using a series of images including the target; andactivating at least one of the set of local alert components in response to determining the presence of an alert condition.
