  • Patent number: 9333652
    Abstract: A safety monitoring system for human-machine symbiosis is provided, including a spatial image capturing unit, an image recognition unit, a human-robot-interaction safety monitoring unit, and a process monitoring unit. The spatial image capturing unit, disposed in a working area, acquires at least two skeleton images. The image recognition unit generates at least two spatial gesture images corresponding to the at least two skeleton images, based on information of changes in position of the at least two skeleton images with respect to time. The human-robot-interaction safety monitoring unit generates a gesture distribution based on the at least two spatial gesture images and a safety distance. The process monitoring unit determines whether the gesture distribution meets a safety criterion.

  • Publication number: 20130169816
    Abstract: A monitoring and managing method applied to a data center comprising racks is provided, wherein each rack comprises at least one electronic apparatus, and the monitoring and managing method comprises: capturing an image from a panel side of the racks to generate a first visible light image; capturing a non-visible light image of a heat dissipation side of the racks; using image recognition to determine the status of light signals and network ports of the at least one electronic apparatus and forming status information according to the first visible light image; storing the first visible light image and the non-visible light image; determining whether there is an abnormal event of the data center according to the first visible light image, the status information and profile of the data center.
