Audio-Based Excavator Preoperational Checks Using Few-Shot Deep Learning

Abstract

AbstractRoutine maintenance of construction machinery, such as excavators, is essential for ensuring operational efficiency and reliability. A key component of this process is the daily preoperational check, which traditionally relies on workers’ auditory ...Practical ApplicationsThis study introduces a simple yet powerful method to help construction teams detect machinery problems early—before they lead to costly breakdowns. Currently, workers often rely on what they hear to judge whether a machine, such as ...
