METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESS MONITORING

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18334012 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESS MONITORING

Original Abstract Submitted

A method of monitoring an assembly process is disclosed herein. The method includes obtaining an event model for each of a plurality of objects in the assembly process with the event model for each of the plurality of objects including a predetermined time frame for a change in presence to occur. The method includes collecting an image sequence of the assembly process for monitoring and identifying if a change in presence for each of the plurality of objects occurred with a detector model. The method further includes reviewing the event model for each of the plurality of objects to determine if the predetermined time frame lapsed without the change in presence of a corresponding one of the plurality of objects being identified and issuing an alert if the predetermined time frame lapsed without the presence of a corresponding one of the plurality of objects being identified.
