Towards Automated Visual Assessment of Progress in Construction Projects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current assessment of progress in construction projects is a manual task that is often infrequent and error prone. Images of sites are extremely cluttered and rife with shadows, occlusions, equipment, and people making them extremely hard to analyse. We present a first prototype system capable of detecting changes on a building site observed by a fixed camera, and classifying such changes as either actual structural events, or as unrelated. We exploit a prior building model to align camera and scene, thus identifying image regions where building components are expected to appear. This then enables us to home in on significant change events and verify the actual presence of a particular type of component. We place our approach within an emerging paradigm for integration in the construction industry, and highlight the benefits of automated image based feedback.

In this paper we present a novel method for reliable recognition of construction workers and their actions using color and depth data from a Microsoft Kinect sensor. Our algorithm is based on machine learning techniques, in which meaningful visual features are extracted based on the estimated body pose of workers. We adopt a bag-of-poses representation for worker actions and combine it with pow...

Abstract Introduction: Construction projects are one of the most important sectors of the economy of the country, which has a high capacity for job creation. Construction projects are part of a huge and strategic set of civil engineering projects that unfortunately have a large share of work-related accidents due to lack of attention to safety. One of the most important issues that can contrib...
