Abstract

Measuring the process of construction operations for productivity improvement remains a difficult task for most construction companies due to the manual effort required in most activity measurement methods. There are many ways to measuring the process. But past measurement methods was inefficient. Because they needed a lot of manpower and time. So, this article focus on the vision-based object recognition and tracking methods for automated construction. These methods have the advantage of efficient that human intervention was reduced. Therefore, this article is analyzed the performance of vision-based methods in the construction sites and is expected to contribute to selection of vision-based methods.
