Automatic slips detection system for the optimization of real-time drilling operations

A computer system for determining a slips status during a drilling operation of a subterranean formation, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor and storing instruction, the instructions, when executed by the processor, comprising functionality for:
• capturing, using one or more camera devices mounted on a drilling rig of the drilling operation, a plurality of images, each of the plurality of images comprising a portion that corresponds to a slips device of the drilling rig;
• generating, using a sensor device of the drilling rig, a plurality of parameters of the drilling rig, wherein the plurality of parameters are synchronized with the plurality of images;
• providing the plurality of parameters as input to a machine learning model of the drilling rig;
• and
• analyzing, based on the machine learning model, the plurality of images to generate the slips status.
