Convolutional Neural Networks Mobile-App System to Detection of Personal Protection Elements in a Recycling Plant
摘要
The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in industries is mandatory, since current regulations dictate the use of various types of PPE depending on the activity carried out. The correct use of these elements can be the difference between an incident and an accident with serious consequences for the people involved. In different industries, supervisors spend a large portion of their time ensuring that workers use their PPE correctly at all times. In order to help monitor worker safety, this work addresses the development of a prototype that allows the use of PPE to be detected automatically and send relevant notifications to supervisors. The prototype is developed in Python, and the detection of PPE is carried out through a deep neural network (YOLOv5). Preliminary inferences show that it can be adapted in a wide variety of scenarios with promising results.
