Computer Vision System for Industrial Equipment Gauge Digitization and Alarms

摘要

A system for analog gauge monitoring uses a machine learning model for computer vision that is trained using synthetic training data generated based on one or a few images of the gauge being monitored and a geometric model describing the scale and the indicator of the gauge. In some embodiments, the synthetic training data is generated using an image model implemented as a generative adversarial network (GAN) type neural network and trained to modify an image of a given gauge such that the gauge face is preserved while the gauge indicator is added to or removed from the image of the given gauge for any given gauge.
