Systems and methods for personnel location at a drilling site

A method for locating personnel on a drilling site with computer vision, the method comprising:

• acquiring, by a computer vision system, visual data from at least one camera positioned on a drilling site, wherein the drilling site comprises a drilling rig and one or more pieces of equipment associated with the drilling rig;
• analyzing, by the computer vision system, the visual data from the at least one camera, the visual data comprising a field of view of at least a portion of the drilling site;
• identifying, by the computer vision system, an object as personnel in the field of view from the visual data;
• estimating, by the computer vision system, a location of the personnel responsive to the identification of the object as personnel;
• tracking, by the computer vision system, the location of the personnel as the personnel moves within the field of view;
• and
• generating, by the computer vision system, a display comprising at least one marking corresponding to the tracked location of the personnel,
• wherein identifying the object as the personnel is based on the detected object meeting one or more conditions, and
• wherein the one or more conditions comprises at least one of an estimated mid-point of the personnel being within a predefined mid-point range or an estimated velocity of the object being within a predefined velocity range.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions executable by one or more processors, the instructions comprising instructions which, when executed on the one or more data processors, cause the one or more data processors to perform actions including:

• acquiring visual data from at least one camera positioned on a drilling site, wherein the drilling site comprises a drilling rig and one or more pieces of equipment associated with the drilling rig;
• analyzing the visual data from the at least one camera, the visual data comprising a field of view of at least a portion of the drilling site;
• identifying an object as personnel in the field of view from the visual data;
• estimating a location of the personnel responsive to the identification of the object as personnel;
• tracking the location of the personnel as the personnel moves within the field of view;
• generating a display comprising at least one marking corresponding to the tracked location of the personnel;
• and
• removing the at least one marking from the display when no personnel detections have occurred within a time period.
