Detection system and detection method for using a neural network to detect a proficiency of a worker
Patent number: 11966836Abstract: According to one embodiment, a detection system includes an acquirer, a trainer, and a detector. The acquirer acquires first data, second data, and third data. The first data is based on an action of a first body part in a first work of a first worker having a first proficiency. The second data is based on an action of the first body part in the first work of a second worker having a second proficiency. The third data is based on an action of the first body part in the first work of a third worker. The trainer trains a recurrent neural network including a first output layer using the first data and the second data. The detector inputs the third data to the trained recurrent neural network and detects a response of the first neuron or the second neuron.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2018Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventor: Yasuo Namioka -

The first generator uses a human body model to generate a first image. The human body model models a human body and is three-dimensional and virtual. The second generator generates a teacher image by annotating body parts of the human body model in the first image. The third generator generates a second image including noise by performing, on the first image, at least one selected from first processing, second processing, third processing, fourth processing, or fifth processing. The trainer uses the second image and the teacher image to train a first model.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventor: Yasuo Namioka
