Abstract
A method for determining a slips status during a drilling operation of a subterranean formation. The method includes capturing, using one or multiple camera devices mounted on a drilling rig of the drilling operation, a plurality of images, each of the plurality of images comprising a portion that corresponds to a slips device of the drilling rig, generating, using a sensor device of the drilling rig, a plurality of parameters of the drilling rig, wherein the plurality of parameters are synchronized with the plurality of images, providing, by a computer processor, the plurality of parameters as input to a machine learning model of the drilling rig, and analyzing, by the computer processor and based on the machine learning model, the plurality of images to generate the slips status.
