Abstract
Embodiments describe a method for capturing objects in action at an earthmoving site. The method includes capturing an image of a region of the earthmoving site including an object, the image being recorded as captured digital data; identifying a classification of the object using a trained algorithm existing in memory of the image capturing device; sending the classification of the object to a remote server through a network; determining a pixel location and a boundary of the object within a field of view of the image capturing device based on positions of pixels of the object in the image; sending a set of images including the image to the remote server; determining an activity being performed by the object based on an analysis of digital data associated with the classification of the object and the movement of the object at the earthmoving site; and outputting a report to a user.
