BODY OR CAR MOUNTED CAMERA SYSTEM
A camera system includes an administrator and a series of camera nodes which includes an audio microphone for also including sound in the video data file. The administrator includes a computer server, a wireless transmitter/receiver (transceiver), and machine learning (ML) chips. Each camera node includes a video capturing device or camera, a wireless transmitter/receiver (transceiver), a plurality of ML chips, and a GPS sensor. The ML chips are capable of receiving data in the form of a video file and processing the data to determine if the data includes “actionable” data. The ML chip makes certain inferences from the captured video data. The camera nodes are wirelessly linkable to each other. The communication between the several camera nodes form a “mesh network” wherein the several camera nodes may transmit data to each other, thus propagating the camera nodes with the mesh network with common data, rules, or inferences.
Systems and methods for gamification of instrument inspection and maintenance
Disclosed is a gamification system for overlaying user-controlled graphical targeting elements over a real-time video feed of an instrument being inspected, and providing interactive controls for firing virtual weapons or other graphical indicators to designate and/or record the presence of contaminants, defects, and/or other issues at specific locations within or on the instrument. The system may receive and present images of the instrument under inspection in a graphical user interface (“GUI”). The system may receive user input that tags a particular region of a particular image with an issue identifier, and may generate a visualization that is presented in conjunction with the particular image in the GUI in response to receiving the input. The visualization corresponds to firing of a virtual weapon and other gaming visuals associated with tagging the particular region of the particular image with the issue identifier.
