Publication number: 20240015266Abstract: An event recognition system includes one or more processing circuits including one or more memory devices and one or more processors. The one or more memory devices are configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: execute an algorithm that receives image data as an input and recognizes a first equipment object and a second equipment object in the image data; recognize an event involving the first equipment object and the second equipment object based upon the image data containing the recognized first equipment object and the recognized second equipment object; and execute an event procedure based upon the event where the event procedure includes controlling the first equipment object.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: JBT AeroTech CorporationInventors: Mark T. Thompson, Stephen C. Tatton

Publication number: 20230066765Abstract: In some embodiments, a system is provided that includes an edge computing device and at least one camera configured to obtain image data depicting at least a portion of an operations area. The edge computing device includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium that has a model data store and computer-executable instructions stored thereon. The instructions cause the edge computing device to perform actions including receiving at least one image from the at least one camera; processing the at least one image using at least one machine learning model stored in the model data store to determine at least one environmental state within the operations area; and controlling a device based on the determined at least one environmental state. The machine learning model is trained by a model management computing system that obtains training data via low-bandwidth connections to edge computing devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2021Publication date: March 2, 2023Applicant: JBT AeroTech CorporationInventors: Grant Thomas, Stephen C. Tatton

Patent number: 11182610Abstract: Event recognition systems include a camera and a controller. The controller is communicatively connectable to the camera, and includes a processor and logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the event recognition system to perform operations including: recognizing an event involving an equipment object based upon image data captured by the camera, executing an event procedure based upon the event, the event procedure including controlling the equipment object, and transmitting the image data to a network-based client based upon the event.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2019Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: JBT AeroTech CorporationInventors: Mark T. Thompson, Stephen C. Tatton
