Abstract
Aspects of this disclosure relate to a system that uses images of a load handled by a crane as captured by cameras to monitor the load. The images may include different sets of outer perimeters of the load. The system may identify the outer perimeters and then define a safety zone that extends beyond these outer perimeters. In response to identifying an object within the safety zone, the system may execute a remedial action.
