Background: To operate a digger the right number of teeth are important. Identification of a missing tooth by human inspectors prone to short and long term variations.An automated tooth ID inspection system using a camera is proposed.

Requirement: Provide image analysis technology linked to a camera to count the number of teeth on a digger in real time, alarming to the operator when a tooth is removed. Now possible to remove the tooth from the load, preventing further damage.

Why do Image Analysis?
Better Definition of Contrasting Areas Improved Precision/Accuracy in Measurements Reproducibility of Results Higher Throughput than Manual Methods
![Page 5: Electronic Imaging Fundamentals: Digger Tooth Monitoring](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815ecf550346895dcd5a5d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A Word About Our Eyes Eyes are very good contrast adjusters, but
not good for distinguishing subtle variations in color
Eyes can discern about 30 continuous levels of gray or color in a field of view
Eyes are not good judges of distance Eyes cannot accurately reproduce
measurements

Arguably, the most important aspect of all Proper setup of imaging apparatus is vital Obtain maximum contrast and dynamic range Reduce “noise” and other unwanted artifacts Uniform lighting (light) Product presentation (right way up) Resolution & Colour (CCTV VS DIGITAL)

Product Review Image Analysis SOFTWARE and HARDWARE would be
used to capture an image of the digger teeth.
The image would be processed to determine the expected number of teeth, the length and orientation.
If outside SPEC, Possible to have an audio and visual alarm on site or generated in the control room.
A report would be generated showing date, time, images etc.

SPIN OFFS1. Real time up date images of the digger in operation2. Receive notification of a broken tooth immediately3. Real time enquiries via Web Site / SMS / E-mail4. Driver link to digger via biometric now possible5. Regulate digger violations6. Increased awareness by the operator that he being
monitored7. Feedback reporting to operator associations8. Illegal operation

In Summary
All about tracking digger teeth, informing the operator of a lost tooth within seconds, changing user activities, combined with efficient workflow control, and increased accountability and profits, together with real time monitoring of digger operation.
