Abstract
Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including: capturing, using an image sensor directed at a drilling system, an image feed of movement of a component of the drilling system with respect to a vertical reference line; converting the image feed into a digital representation of the movement of the component, the digital representation including a number of offset pixels from the component to the vertical reference line in the image feed; converting the digital representation into a machine learning (ML), the ML representation including a plurality of vectors each including the number of offset pixels from the component to the vertical reference line at a respective time; training a ML model using the ML representation to characterize the movement of the component as normal or abnormal; and using the trained ML model to characterize the movement of the component in real-time as normal or abnormal.
