Abstract
Computer vision technology can be used to interpret the images captured by web cameras installed on construction sites to automatically quantify the results. This information can be used for quality control, productivity measurement and to direct construction. Steel frame construction is particularly well suited for automatic monitoring as all structural members can be viewed from a small number of camera locations, and three-dimensional computer models of steel structures are frequently available in a standard electronic format. A system is being developed that interprets the 3-D model and directs a camera to look for individual members as regular intervals to determine when each is in place and report the results. Results from a simple lab-scale system are presented along with preliminary full-scale development.
