Abstract: A computer processor implemented method and system for monitoring a condition associated with operating heavy equipment is disclosed. The method involves receiving a plurality of images at an interface of an embedded processor disposed on the heavy equipment, the images providing a view of at least an operating implement of the heavy equipment. The method also involves processing each of the plurality of images using a first neural network implemented on the embedded processor, the first neural network having been previously trained to identify regions of interest within the image. Each region of interest has an associated designation as at least one of a critical region suitable for extraction of critical operating condition information required for operation of the heavy equipment, and a non-critical region suitable for extraction of non-critical operating condition information associated with the operation of the heavy equipment. The method further involves causing the embedded processor to initiate further processing of image data associated with critical regions to generate local output operable to alert an operator of the heavy equipment of the associated critical operating condition. The method also involves transmitting image data associated with non-critical regions to a remote processor, the remote processor being operably configured for further processing of the image data and to generate output signals representing results of the further processing. The method further involves receiving the output signals generated by the remote processor at one of the embedded processor or another processor associated with a heavy equipment operations worksite, the output signals being presentable via an electronic user interface based at least in part on the output signals to indicate the results of the further processing.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for locating and/or determining the condition of a wear part in an image of an operating implement associated with heavy equipment is disclosed. The method involves capturing at least one image of the operating implement during operation of the heavy equipment, the image including a plurality of pixels each having an intensity value. The method also involves selecting successive pixel subsets within the plurality of pixels, and processing each pixel subset to determine whether pixel intensity values in the pixel subset meet a matching criterion indicating a likelihood that the pixel subset corresponds to the wear part. The matching criterion is based on processing a labeled set of training images during a training exercise prior to capturing the at least one image of the operating implement.
