Movement monitoring system

A computer readable medium having stored thereon in a non-transitory state a program code for use by a computing device, the program code causing the computing device to execute a method for analyzing movement comprising:

• identifying a subject within a frame of video relative to a background within the frame;
• determining when the identified subject performs a task in the video
• identifying dimensions based on the identified subject in one or more frames of the video during the task;
• and
• outputting risk assessment information relative to the identified subject based on the identified dimensions for the identified subject in the one or more frames of the video during the task.

A monitoring system comprising:

• an input port for receiving video;
• an output port;
• and
• a controller in communication with the input port and the output port, the controller configured to identify a subject in frames of video received via the input port, identify at least one ghost effect in the frames of the video, and determine a parameter of the subject based on a location in a frame of video of a ghost effect of the identified at least one ghost effect.

A monitoring system comprising:

• an input port for receiving video;
• an output port;
• a controller in communication with the input port and the output port, the controller configured to:
• identify a subject within a frame of video relative to a background within the frame;
• determine when the subject in the video is performing a task;
• determine extreme-most pixels in two dimensions of the subject to identify a height dimension and a width dimension of the subject in one or more frames of the video during the task;
• and
• output via the output port position assessment information relative to the subject during the task based on the height dimension and the width dimension for the subject in one or more frames of the video during the task.

A monitoring system comprising:

• a controller in communication with the input port and the output port, the controller configured to:
• identify a subject within a frame of video relative to a background within the frame;
• determine when the subject in the video is performing a task;
• identify when the task begins based on determining a frame of video in which a first ghost effect first appears;
• identify when the task ends based on determining a frame of video in which a second ghost effect first appears;
• identify a height dimension and a width dimension of the subject in one or more frames of the video during the task;
• and
• output via the output port position assessment information relative to the subject during the task based on the height dimension and the width dimension for the subject in one or more frames of the video during the task.

• determine when the subject in the video is performing a task;
• identify a height dimension and a width dimension of the subject in one or more frames of the video during the task;
• identify a location of feet of the subject in a frame of the video
• develop position assessment information relative to the subject during the task based, at least in part, on 1) the height dimension and the width dimension for the subject in one or more frames of the video during the task, and 2) determining a recommended weight limit for an object moved during the task based on a vertical distance and a horizontal distance between a location of feet of the subject in one or more frames of the video during the task and a location of hands of the subject in the one or more frames of the video during the task;
• and
• output via the output port the position assessment information.

• identifying a subject within a frame of video relative to a background within the frame;
• determining when the identified subject performs a task in the video identifying dimensions based on the identified subject in one or more frames of the video during the task;
• identifying a ghost effect in a frame of the video, the ghost effect having a location in the frame;
• identifying a location of a hand of the identified subject based on the location of the ghost effect;
• identifying a location of feet of the identified subject in the frame of the video;
• and
• determining position assessment information based, at least in part, on 1) the identified dimensions for the identified subject in the one or more frames of the video during the task, and 2) on a vertical distance and a horizontal distance between the identified location of the hand of the identified subject and the identified location of the feet of the identified subject;
