Augmented Reality Enhanced Image Processing Systems for Interactive Worker Training in Industrial Automation

This paper explores the integration of augmented reality (AR) with image processing systems to enhance interactive worker training in industrial automation environments. The proposed system leverages AR technology to overlay real-time visual information, such as instructional graphics and step-by-step guidance, onto physical workspaces, improving the learning experience for workers. By incorporating advanced image processing techniques, the system ensures precise recognition of industrial tools, components and machinery, facilitating context aware training that adapts to the real-time actions of the trainee. This approach aims to accelerate the onboarding process, reduce human error, and increase efficiency in manufacturing settings, providing workers with immersive, hands-on learning opportunities while enhancing safety and operational effectiveness. The paper discusses the design, implementation and potential benefits of AR – enhanced image processing systems in industrial training programs, with a focus on scalability and practical deployment in diverse industrial environments. Keywords— Augmented Reality (AR), Image Processing, algorithms, Interactive Training, Industrial automation.
