The patent US12073603B2 presents a classification method designed to evaluate the efficiency of operators at assembly stations through a systematic analysis of visual and personal data. The method begins with the extraction of feature data from a series of images depicting operators at their respective stations. This data is transformed into feature vectors, which are then merged into a feature matrix. The classification process utilizes this matrix to assess operator efficiency, ultimately yielding a classification result. Additionally, the method includes steps for recording an image stream during assembly operations and extracting continuous image frames to enhance the data set.

Further refinements to the classification method involve the use of advanced techniques such as autoencoders or convolutional neural networks for feature extraction. The process also incorporates personal data of the operators, which may include attributes like gender, age, and production line station. The classification method allows for the prediction of changes in personal data over time, enhancing the accuracy of the efficiency assessment. Moreover, the method includes mechanisms for clustering historical yield data and training classifiers based on efficiency labels, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of operator performance. An electronic apparatus is also described, which integrates storage and processing capabilities to implement the classification method effectively.
