Abstract

A computer-implemented method for automated wellhead monitoring using imaging and computer vision is described. The method includes establishing a baseline for a wellhead using image dimension and perspective calibration. The method also includes constructing at least one computer vision model using images or video from a wellhead database and inputting unseen wellhead images to the trained at least one computer vision model. Additionally, the method includes extracting a wellhead shape and geometric information of the wellhead in the unseen wellhead images and estimating wellhead displacement and growth based on the extracted images.
