Abstract
A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for monitoring a platform. Images are received by a computer system from a sensor system positioned to monitor movement of human beings relative to the platform. A set of the human beings is identified by the computer system in the images. The movement of the set of the human beings relative to the platform is determined by the computer system using the images. A count of the human beings on the platform is determined by the computer system based on the movement determined for the set of the human beings. A set of actions is performed by the computer system based on the count of the human beings on the platform.
Claims47
A method for monitoring traffic for an aircraft, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer system, images from a sensor system positioned to monitor movement of human beings relative to the aircraft;
- identifying, by the computer system, a set of the human beings in the images;
- determining, by the computer system, the movement of the set of the human beings relative to the aircraft using the images;
- determining, by the computer system, a count of the human beings in the aircraft based on the movement determined for the set of the human beings;
- and
- performing, by the computer system, a set of actions based on the count of the human beings in the aircraft.
A method for monitoring a platform, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer system, images from a sensor system positioned to monitor movement of human beings relative to the platform;
- identifying, by the computer system, a set of the human beings in the images;
- determining, by the computer system, the movement of the set of the human beings relative to the platform using the images;
- determining, by the computer system, a count of the human beings on the platform based on the movement determined for the set of the human beings;
- and
- performing, by the computer system, a set of actions based on the count of the human beings on the platform.
An aircraft monitoring system comprising:
- a computer system;
- and
- a controller in the computer system, wherein the controller is configured to:
- receive images from a sensor system positioned to a monitor movement of human beings relative to an aircraft;
- identify a set of the human beings in the images;
- determine the movement of the set of the human beings relative to the aircraft using the images;
- determine a count of the human beings in the aircraft based on the movement determined for the set of the human beings;
- and
- perform a set of actions based on the count of the human beings in the aircraft.
A platform monitoring system comprising:
- a computer system;
- and
- a controller in the computer system, wherein the controller is configured to:
- receive images from a sensor system positioned to monitor movement of human beings relative to the platform;
- identify a set of the human beings in the images;
- determine the movement of the set of the human beings relative to the platform using the images;
- determine a count of the human beings on the platform based on the movement determined for the set of the human beings;
- and
- perform a set of actions based on the count of the human beings on the platform.
A computer program product for monitoring an aircraft, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer-readable storage media;
- first program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, executable by a computer system to cause the computer system to receive images from a sensor system positioned to monitor movement of human beings relative to the aircraft;
- second program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, executable by the computer system to cause the computer system to identify a set of the human beings in the images;
- third program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, executable by the computer system to cause the computer system to determine the movement of the set of the human beings relative to the aircraft using the images;
- fourth program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, executable by the computer system to cause the computer system to determine a count of the human beings in the aircraft based on the movement determined for the set of the human beings;
- and
- fifth program code, stored on the computer-readable storage media, executable by the computer system to cause the computer system to perform a set of actions based on the count of the human beings in the aircraft.
