Industrial process event detection using motion analysis

This invention uses video cameras to watch industrial machinery. By analyzing how things move or stop moving in the video, it can automatically detect problems like equipment breaking down or work stopping. The system specifically works by comparing video frames to measure motion and then uses these measurements to identify when something unusual happens.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread AI-powered computer vision. The claims' method of detecting motion by comparing images is now significantly more accurate and easier to implement using modern machine learning techniques.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedComputer vision software, industrial cameras, data storage
