PPE detection
Computer vision that checks required safety gear in defined camera zones.
What it means
PPE detection identifies whether a person in a controlled zone appears to have required gear such as a hard hat, vest, eyewear, or other visible equipment. It should be scoped by zone and policy.
Why it matters
PPE checks are useful only when they map to a real rule and response. A missing vest in a designated area is an event; a person outside the area may not be.
Evaluation questions
Which zones require PPE and during which work modes?
Does the alert interrupt operators or only log for review?
How will lighting, occlusion, and camera angle affect detection?
