Abstract: Tracking construction machines in videos is a fundamental step in the automated surveillance of construction productivity, safety, and project progress. However, existing vision-based tracking methods are not able to achieve ...

Abstract: The

Abstract: Deep learning object detection algorithms have proven their capacity to identify a variety of objects from images and videos in near real-time speed. The construction industry can potentially benefit from this machine ...

Abstract: Deep learning image captioning methods are able to generate one or several natural sentences to describe the contents of construction images. By deconstructing these sentences, the construction object and activity information ...

Abstract: Inadequate tools for evaluating construction machinery management have resulted in engineers relying heavily on experience to plan and replan site management during short time frames, with a lack of consideration for the ...

Abstract: This research focuses on a long-standing problem at construction sites: on-site information retrieval. A wearable device, therefore, has been developed that can project the construction drawings and related information on ...

Abstract: A system for three-dimensional simulation and animation of erection processes is presented. The system is aimed at providing detailed planning and visualization in a virtual construction environment as well as for assisting ...

Abstract: Engineering graphics courses are typically a requirement for engineering students around the world. Besides understanding and depicting graphic representation of engineering objects, the goal of these courses is to provide ...

Abstract: Hydraulic experiment courses in engineering education usually require students to follow a “standard procedure.” Students are expected to learn the underlying theories through manipulating the equipment, observing the ...

Abstract: During crane operation, the operator can be distracted by a multitude of factors, leading to hazardous operational environments which can result in accidents. Recent investigations into the potentials of tele-operation ...
