Abstract
A work supporting apparatus includes: a visible light camera (visible light image photographing unit) configured to photograph a visible light image; a far-infrared camera (thermal image photographing unit) configured to photograph a thermal image; a work progress status determining unit configured to determine a work progress status from the visible light image photographed by the visible light camera and the thermal image photographed by the far-infrared camera; and a display configured to display a determination result of the work progress status.
Claims4
A method, performed by head-mounted work supporting apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- photographing a visible light image;
- photographing a thermal image;
- storing work information, the work information containing work time information and work temperature information of each work;
- determining a work progress status from the visible light image and the thermal image;
- displaying a determination result of the work progress status;
- extracting a work target region from the visible light image;
- generating a temperature distribution image from the thermal image;
- calculating a target temperature of the work target region on a basis of the visible light image and the temperature distribution image;
- determining the work progress status on a basis of the target temperature of the work target region and the work information on the work target region;
- and
- in a case where it is determined that a work is terminated from the determination result of the work progress status, causing the display to display a termination notification of the work.
