Publication number: 20230144387Abstract: In an embodiment of the disclosed principles, a method of analyzing a rope to estimate its residual break strength (RBS) is provided. The method entails training a multi-layered neural network to recognize rope damage and estimate an RBS for a rope under study by collecting high-resolution visual data of a plurality of sample ropes, extracting visual features of damaged areas of each rope, resolving each visual feature into a damage type and clustering damage type exemplars, breaking each sample rope to determine an actual RBS for each rope and classifying the visual data via determined RBS, specific to product type/damage mode. Job and product data are entered for the rope under study, the rope is paid out, and high-resolution visual data is captured while spooling back the rope. The correlated data is provided to the multi-layered neural network to generate an estimate of RBS for the rope under study.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2023Publication date: May 11, 2023Inventors: Michael Jacob Poroo, Samuel Justin McCoy

Publication number: 20200401788Abstract: An image classification model is configured to classify a subject viewed via a multi-camera apparatus. A depth classification model is configured to distinguish between a depth characteristic of a 3D subject and a depth characteristic of a realistic 2D rendering of a 3D subject, using depth information provided by viewing a subject via a multi-camera apparatus. A 2D rendering of a 3D subject is presented as an input to a multi-camera apparatus, the multi-camera apparatus operating the image classification model and the depth classification model. Using the multi-camera apparatus, a first depth information corresponding to the input is collected. The first depth information is provided to the depth classification model. Responsive to the depth classification model classifying the input as a 2D rendering, the 2D rendering is rejected as being the 3D subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2019Publication date: December 24, 2020Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David Okun, Justin Mccoy
