  • Patent number: 11308620
    Abstract: A system for analyzing images is provided. The system includes a computing device having at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The at least one processor is programmed to receive an image including a plurality of objects, detect the plurality of objects in the image, determine dependencies between each of the plurality of objects, identify the plurality of objects based, at least in part, on the plurality of dependencies, and determine one or more objects of interest from the plurality of identified objects.

  • Patent number: 11112765
    Abstract: A control system for operation of an industrial machine includes a processor and a tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable memory communicating with the processor. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable memory includes instructions that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including: receiving image data from an imaging device that monitors an image zone around the industrial machine, and analyzing the image data. The processor further performs operations including determining, based upon the analyzing, that the control system is functional, determining, based upon the analyzing, that the image data includes at least one of a predefined color, a predefined pattern, and a predefined shape, and transmitting a proximity signal to at least one relay module coupled between the processor and the industrial machine to halt operation of the industrial machine.
