Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of machine learning, and in particular relates to a safety monitoring image processing method for a practical examination of a forklift driver. Background Art

[0002] In modern industrial environments, forklifts are a widely used type of handling equipment. The operation of forklifts involves a variety of complex actions such as loading, steering, and parking, which require operators to have a high degree of skills and safety awareness. In order to ensure the safe use of forklifts, especially in industrial sites, monitoring and evaluating the actual operating capabilities of forklift operators has become a key task. Traditional forklift operation monitoring methods mainly rely on on-site supervision or video playback, which are not only labor-intensive, but also difficult to accurately evaluate the operator's operating safety in real time. In addition, with the development of machine learning technology, intelligent monitoring systems based on image processing and target detection provide new solutions for monitoring forklift operations. Through efficient image processing algorithms, forklift operating behaviors and their potential safety hazards can be accurately identified.

[0003] In recent years, image processing technology based on deep learning has been widely used in industrial applications; in particular, the rapid development of generative adversarial networks and target detection algorithms has made the generation of high-resolution images and real-time target detection possible; for example, super-resolution generative adversarial networks can generate clear high-resolution images through adversarial training, providing higher accuracy for subsequent image analysis; real-time detection transformers combine multi-scale features and self-attention mechanisms to accurately identify key targets in forklifts and their operating environments; at the same time, through the model of unlabeled self-supervised learning, forklift operations can be classified, especially in terms of safety assessment, this method can accurately determine whether the operation meets safety standards; combining these technologies, real-time monitoring and evaluation of forklift operations can be achieved, thereby providing technical support for the safe operation of forklifts.

[0004] In industrial production and logistics handling, the skills and safety awareness of forklift operators are crucial, so forklift qualification examinations are one of the standard ways to evaluate the capabilities of operators; the introduction of automated and intelligent evaluation systems has become a research focus in recent years; with the development of computer vision and artificial intelligence technology, automated evaluation systems have gradually been applied to forklift examinations; these systems use cameras and sensors, combined with machine learning algorithms, to monitor and analyze the operator's driving behavior in real time; through high-resolution image acquisition, the forklift's driving, steering, loading and unloading actions can be accurately captured, and target detection and behavior recognition algorithms can be used to determine whether there are any illegal operations or safety hazards; this automated system not only improves the evaluation efficiency, but also enhances the objectivity and consistency of the examination, reduces the errors caused by human judgment, and ensures the fairness of the results.
