Abstract
A method for detecting missing tooth in mining shovel, implemented using a processing device, includes receiving a pair of image frames from a camera disposed on a rope mine shovel configured to carry a mining load. A tooth line region corresponding to the pair of image frames is detected to generate a pair of tooth line regions based on a shovel template set. A difference image is determined based on the pair of image frames and the pair of tooth line regions. Further, a response map representative of possible tooth positions is determined based on the difference image using a tooth template matching technique. A tooth line is selected among a plurality of candidate tooth lines based on the response map. Further, a tooth condition is determined based on the tooth line and the difference image. The tooth condition is notified to an operator of the rope mine shovel.
