Abstract: In incompletely characterized environments such as construction sites, remote machine operation is the preferred—and sometimes the only—safe and efficient solution for the operation of construction machines. When it comes ...

Abstract: There has been a growing demand for the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of as-built pipelines. The as-built 3D pipeline reconstruction process consists of the measurement of an industrial plant, identification of ...

Abstract: Concrete structural component detection in color images is a key pre-process in various applications such as construction progress measurement, structural health monitoring, and three-dimensional as-built modeling. The ...

Abstract: Recognizing construction assets (e.g., materials, equipment, labor) from point cloud data of construction environments provides essential information for engineering and management applications including progress ...

Abstract: Timely acquisition of construction resource information is an essential task for construction engineers and managers. Due to the harsh and dynamic construction environment, it is not easy to acquire construction information ...

Abstract: The importance of green buildings has been frequently highlighted. However, barriers such as greater complexity, lack of understanding of sustainability, and the perception of a greater possibility of cost overrun have ...

Abstract: The heavy equipment used at construction sites poses a significant threat to the safety of surrounding workers due to the inherently poor visibility of the equipment operator. To improve visibility, heavy-equipment ...

Abstract: Equipment operation on construction sites is a major source of construction accidents and injuries related to crushing, electrocution, and falls. Primarily, this is because the operator’s field of view, reaction speed, ...
