Abstract
Described are systems and methods for image recognition in test systems. A method for safe operation of a test system includes capturing image data representative of a test area of the test system with an imaging device, transmitting the image data representative of the test area from the imaging device to a processor running an image recognition application, detecting, by the image recognition application, a user presence within the test area, and adjusting the test system to a safe mode in response to the detecting the user presence within the test area.
Claims22
A method for safe operation of a test system, the method comprising:
- capturing image data representative of a test area of the test system with an imaging device;
- transmitting the image data representative of the test area from the imaging device to a processor running an image recognition application;
- detecting, by the image recognition application, a user presence within the test area by identifying a hand or finger of a user within the test area using at least one of a machine learning model and a neural network trained on fixture image data of the test system;
- adjusting the test system to a safe mode in response to the detecting the user presence within the test area.
A test system having an identification system, the identification system comprising:
- an imaging device focusable on a test area of the test system;
- a processor in communication with the imaging device, the processor configured to:
- run an image recognition application;
- receive image data from the imaging device representative of a test area from the imaging device;
- detect a user presence within the test area by identifying a hand or finger of a user within the test area using at least one of a machine learning model and a neural network trained on fixture image data of the test system;
- and
- adjust the test system to a safe mode in response to the detecting the user presence within the test area.
A load frame-incorporated test system including an identification system, the identification system comprising:
- a camera focused on a test area of the load frame-incorporated test system;
- a processor in communication with the camera, the processor configured to:
- run an image recognition application comprising an artificial intelligence component, the
- artificial intelligence component comprising at least one of:
- a machine learning model;
- and a neural network;
- receive image data from the imaging device representative of a test area from the imaging device;
- detect a user presence within the test area by identifying a hand or finger of a user within the test area using at least one of a machine learning model and a neural network trained on fixture image data of the test system;
- and
- adjust the test system to a safe mode in response to the detecting the user presence within the test area.
