Sumitomo Heavy Industries (SHI) and tech giant NEC are developing a system that automatically extracts recordings of near-miss incidents and generates corresponding reports based on the camera footage and sensor data captured from hydraulic excavators.
The system will use an extraction AI model, trained on real-world hydraulic excavator data accumulated by SHI, to first identify and extract risk scenes from video footage.
These risk scenes, together with operational data from the excavators, will then be analysed using NEC’s proprietary technology, which combines video recognition with generative AI, and stored as multimodal data that incorporates temporal and spatial information.
