Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMTConstructionsAIt – Multi-modal AI-driven technologies for automatic construction site monitoring
In the construction industry, unexpected accidents, thefts, and vandalism can cause high costs due to construction delays. Also, logistic monitoring is of central importance to ensure a smooth construction process, especially for large-scale projects. Manual attempts to ensure the safety of construction workers and to monitor traffic flows and deliveries of construction materials are often costly and inefficient.
As a promising solution, audio-visual analysis algorithms combined with distributed sensor networks across construction sites can help to automate these processes.
In this white paper, ten use-cases for construction site monitoring using multi-modal AI-driven algorithms are presented and challenges as well as possible solutions are discussed.
