Toshiba AI Technology Catalog

  • Media recognition

Technology for analyzing actions involving tools

It is possible to recognize detailed work processes from the video and identify bottlenecks and mistakes in the work.


  • Even in the same posture, it is possible to distinguish actions such as “screwing with a screwdriver” or “fitting parts” based on the tools being used or the items being held and measure the working time accordingly.
  • Compared to action recognition methods that use large-scale models to process video directly, this approach is lightweight and allows a single PC to process footage from multiple cameras simultaneously.

Applications



  • General analysis of work details using images

Benchmarks, strengths, and track record



  • A unique method that can be introduced into existing techniques using only skeletal information to achieve higher accuracy.
  • Evaluation using public datasets confirmed a significant improvement in the recognition performance of actions involving tools.
  • Compared to methods that process video directly, this approach allows for faster processing.
