  • Publication number: 20230358015
    Abstract: An excavation position determination system achieves appropriate determination of an excavation start position in accordance with a shape or contour of an excavation target. The excavation position determination system includes: a photographing device that photographs an excavation target having a mountain shape and a bucket included in a working machine; a start position determinator that determines an excavation start position of the bucket to the excavation target. The start position determinator determines, on the basis of detected data from the photographing device, a position of the bucket where the bucket is not wholly hidden by the excavation target but a part of the excavation target and a part of the bucket overlap each other when the bucket is seen from a machine body of the working machine as the excavation start position.

  • Publication number: 20230230380
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image processing unit and a risk information generation unit. By processing at least one image, the image processing unit identifies a caution-requiring location being a location where a proximity indicator being an indicator related to a proximity state between a plurality of persons satisfies a criterion. The risk information generation unit outputs information indicating the caution-requiring location. For example, the information is displayed on a display unit through a display control unit. For each person, the image processing unit computes a first distance being the distance to the closest person to the person. Then, for each of a plurality of locations, the image processing unit counts the number of times the first distance has a reference value or less. Then, the proximity indicator is set by using the number of times the first distance has the reference value or less.
