STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEMS UTILIZING VISUAL FEEDBACK AND SELECTIVE RECORDING
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring structural health of a machine, the system comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to collect structural health data associated with the machine;
one or more video cameras operatively associated with the machine and configured to selectively record video data; and
a controller, including a processor, operatively associated with the one or more sensors and the one or more video cameras, the controller configured to;
receive the structural health data from the one or more sensors,determine if one or more structural health events have occurred, based on the structural health data, andrecord the video data during a timeframe associated with at least one of the one or more structural health events, if at least one of the one or more structural health events has occurred, the video data showing occurrence of at least one of the one or more structural health events, relative to the machine.

Abstract
A system for monitoring structural health of a machine includes sensors configured to collect structural health data associated with the machine. The system includes video cameras operatively associated with the machine and configured to selectively record video data. The system includes a controller, including a processor, operatively associated with the sensors and the video cameras. The controller is configured to receive the structural health data from the sensors and determine if one or more structural health events have occurred based on the structural health data. The controller is configured to record the video data during a timeframe associated with at least one of the one or more structural health events, if at least one of the one or more structural health events has occurred, the video data showing occurrence of at least one of the one or more structural health events, relative to the machine.

11. A method for monitoring structural health of a machine, the method comprising:
-
collecting structural health data associated with the machine, using one or more sensors; recording video data associated with the machine, using one or more video cameras associated with the machine; determining, by an electronic controller, if one or more structural health events have occurred, based on the structural health data; and storing, at least in part, the video data, on a memory associated with the controller, during a timeframe associated with at least one of the one or more structural health events, if at least one of the one or more structural health events has occurred, the video data showing occurrence of at least one of the one or more structural health events. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A machine comprising:
-
a plurality of machine components including, at least, one or more ground engaging devices, a power system, and an implement; one or more sensors configured to collect structural health data associated with one or more of the plurality of machine components; one or more video cameras operatively associated one or more of the plurality of machine components, the video cameras configured to selectively record video data associated with one or more of the plurality of machine components; and a controller, including a processor, operatively associated with the one or more sensors and the one or more video cameras, the controller configured to; receive the structural health data from the one or more sensors, receive the selectively recorded video data from the one or more video cameras; determine if one or more structural health events have occurred, based on the structural health data, and store the video data recorded by the one or more video cameras, during a timeframe associated with at least one of the one or more structural health events, if at least one of the one or more structural health events has occurred, the video data showing occurrence of at least one of the one or more structural health events, relative to one or more of the plurality of machine components. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
