  • Methods for tracking ground engaging tools between and within image frames
    Patent number: 12601158
    Abstract: A technique is directed to methods and systems for ground engaging tool (GET) loss detection. A GET monitoring system can receive image data from one or more cameras mounted on a machine. The image data can include image frames that include one or more GETs, such as bucket tips, lip shrouds, and/or side shrouds. The GET monitoring system can utilize a neural network to determine whether a GET is missing based on comparing consecutive images, depth measurements from the camera, or the distance relationships between multiple GETs. If a GET is determined to be missing from a bucket, the GET monitoring system can generate a notification to alert the operator or personnel at the site.
