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: 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 ...
