Abstract:
A wellhead alignment system includes a visual marker configured to be placed at a wellhead and a camera configured to capture an image that includes the visual marker. The wellhead alignment system also includes one or more processors configured to apply computer vision algorithms to identify the visual marker in the image and to calculate an offset between the wellhead and a drilling rig based on a position of the visual marker in the image.
