Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fatigue state technology, and in particular to a system and method for detecting severe fatigue in construction workers based on spatiotemporal characteristics. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are two main methods for detecting fatigue among construction workers: one is fatigue detection based on physiological signals, which collects physiological signals through electrodes or sensors worn on the worker's body; the other is fatigue detection based on computer vision, which predicts fatigue by extracting facial behavioral features of the worker, including eye movement features, mouth features, head features, etc. Detecting whether construction workers are severely fatigued helps to ensure the safety of construction workers and the orderly progress of construction.

[0003] However, both of the above methods have the following drawbacks:

[0004] When fatigue detection is based on physiological signals, these signals are collected by electrodes or sensors worn on the body of construction workers. Prolonged use can lead to slight errors in the collected signals and inaccurate data. When workers on construction sites are required to wear sensors, they have no choice.

[0005] When fatigue detection is performed based on computer vision, if the worker's face is obscured or their head posture changes significantly during the detection process, the loss of key facial points will prevent the extraction of fatigue features, thus limiting the accuracy and robustness of fatigue detection.

[0006] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned defects, the present invention provides a system and method for detecting severe fatigue of construction workers based on spatiotemporal characteristics. Summary of the Invention

[0096] In this embodiment, the first positioning may be to lock onto the image of the construction workers appearing in the work video.

[0097] In this embodiment, the target video segment can be a video segment of the construction workers obtained by locating the image of the construction workers, that is, a video segment that can clearly characterize the action features of the construction workers.

[0098] In this embodiment, the key points can be various parts of the construction workers in the target video segment, such as the head or legs.

[0109] In this embodiment, modular processing can be achieved by defining each set of skeletal key points as a module (i.e., a human body structural part).

[0110] In this embodiment, the first fatigue feature can be the module center area formed by connecting the center points of the head module, elbow module, hip module, and ankle module. The change in the module center area can reflect the limb movement of the construction worker under different mental states.

Secondly, by analyzing the target parts of the modular model, the first, second, and third fatigue characteristics of the construction worker can be effectively identified. Finally, by summarizing the first, second, and third fatigue characteristics, the comprehensiveness and reliability of the determination of the fatigue characteristics of the construction worker are ensured, and the accuracy of detecting the severe fatigue state of the construction worker is guaranteed.

[0174] The analysis subunit is used to receive the change sequence of the fatigue characteristics of the construction workers based on the input of the second target network, and to determine the duration of each action feature of the construction workers during the construction process based on the change sequence of the fatigue characteristics of the construction workers.

[0175] The fatigue coefficient determination subunit is used to match the target fatigue evaluation index from the preset fatigue evaluation index library based on each action feature, and to detect the fatigue level of the duration of the corresponding action feature based on the target fatigue evaluation index, so as to obtain the fatigue coefficient of each action feature as a function of duration.

[0176] The fatigue level determination subunit is used to determine the influence weight of different parts of the human body on the total fatigue level based on human structural characteristics, and to determine the current fatigue level of the construction worker based on the influence weight and the fatigue coefficient generated by each action feature over time. At the same time, the current fatigue level of the construction worker is classified into levels based on a preset fatigue level threshold, and the fatigue status information of the construction worker is determined based on the level classification results. The fatigue level includes severe fatigue and non-severe fatigue.

For example, when the arm is straightened, the fatigue level increases with the duration.

[0181] In this embodiment, the fatigue coefficient is used to characterize the degree of fatigue that occurs in each action feature over time. The larger the value, the greater the degree of fatigue that occurs in the current action feature over time.

[0189] The notification subunit is used to parse alarm information based on the management terminal, determine the terminal communication address of the current construction personnel based on the parsing result, and send a rest notification to the current construction personnel based on the terminal communication address.
