Vision-based tracking has been proposed as a means to efficiently track a large number of construction resources operating in a congested site. In order to obtain 3D coordinates of an object, it is necessary to employ stereo-vision theories. Detecting and tracking of multiple objects require an entity matching process that finds corresponding pairs of detected entities across the two camera views. This paper proposes an efficient way of entity matching for tracking of construction workers. The proposed method basically uses epipolar geometry which represents the relationship between the two fixed cameras. Each pixel coordinate in a camera view is projected onto the other camera view as an epipolar line. The proposed method finds the matching pair of a worker entity by comparing the proximity of the all detected entities in the other view to the epipolar line. Experimental results demonstrate its suitability for automated entity matching for 3D vision-based tracking of construction workers.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 비젼 기법에 기반한 작업자 모니터링을 위한 자동 감시추적 시스템을 제안하였다. 즉, 인간 시각 시스템을 모방한 교차식 스테레오 카메라 시스템의 특성을 이용하여 작업자의 인식은 물론 추적, 감시가 가능한 새로운 형태의 지능형 감시추적 시스템을 설계 제안하였다. 즉, 작업자 표적의 다양한 변화에 관계없이 배경과 분리된 표적인식은 물론 움직이는 표적의 3차원적 위치 정보를 검출함으로써 실시간적 물체인식 및 추적이 가능한 새로운 형태의 지능형 스테레오 감시 추적 시스템을 제시하였다. 실험결과, 교차식 스테레오 카메라 기반의 이동물체 감시추적 시스템의 실험결과 팬과 틸트를 통한 물체추적 후 표적 중심좌표의 수평, 수직 평균오차는 1.82%, 1.11%의 매우 낮은 에러 값을 각각 유지하였으며, 추정된 물체의 3차원 위치좌표의 경우도 실제 물체 위치값과 비교하여 평균 2.5% 이하의 낮은 오차가 나타남이 분석되었다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 제안한 팬과 틸트가 탑제된 스테레오 카메라 기반의 감시추적 시스템은 복잡한 배경 및 주위환경 변화에도 이동 물체를 효과적으로 추출하여 적응적으로 감시 및 추적이 가능한 산업용 무인 감시추적 시스템의 구현 가능성을 제시하였다.

Facial recognition is a biometric technology that is used in various fields such as user authentication and identification of human characteristics. Face recognition applications are practically used in various fields, but very few applications have been developed to improve the factory work environment. We implemented applications that uses face recognition to identify a specific employee in a factory .work environment and provide customized information for each employee. Factory workers need documents describing the work in order to do their assigned work. Factory managers can use our application to register documents needed for each worker, and workers can view the documents assigned to them. Each worker is identified using face recognition, and by tracking the worker's face during work, it is possible to know that the worker is in the workplace. In addition, as a mobile app for workers is provided, workers can view the contents using a tablet, and we have defined a simple communication protocol to exchange information between our applications. We demonstrated the applications in a factory work environment and found several improvements were required for practical use. We expect these results can be used to improve factory work environments.

This research is to propose an applicable framework for real-time health surveillance and safety monitoring at construction sites. First this study aims at finding (1) a framework for health surveillance that is likely to benefit employers and employees in the industry, (2) a valid way to identify factors or conditions with potential health concerns that can occur under particular work conditions, (3) An effective way to apply wireless/mobile sensors to construction workers using real-time/live data transmission methods, and (4) A relationship between a worker's vital signs and job site environment. Biosensors for physiological response and devices for weather/work related data are to collect real-time data. Relationships between jobs and physiological responses are analyzed and factors that touched particularly contributing to certain responses are identified. When data are incorporated with tasks, factors affecting tasks can be identified to estimate the magnitude of the factors. By comparing work and normal responses possible precautionary actions can be considered. In addition, the study would be lead to improving (1) trade-specific dynamic work schedules for workers which would be based on various factors affecting worker health level and (2) reevaluating worker productivity with health status and work schedule, thereby seeking ways to maximize worker productivity. Through a study, the paper presents expected benefits of implementing health monitoring.

분진, 소음, 진동 등 열악한 환경을 가진 지하구조물 건설현장에서는 작업자의 위치추적 및 원활한 감독자의 작업 전달과 함께 위험사고 발생 시 신속한 건설현장의 작업자 구출 등을 위한 기술개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 MEMS INS와 기압센서를 이용하여 지하공간 작업자들의 위치정보를 확보하기 위해 건설현장 테스트를 실시하였고, 검출된 결과를 바탕으로 위치 및 표고에 대한 정확도 분석을 수행하여 그 활용성에 대한 검증을 하였다. 연구수행결과 4km 구간에 대하여 작업자의 수평위치정확도는 10m 이내로 발생하였으며, 수직위치정확도의 경우 4m 이내로 층간 구분이 가능한 수준까지 위치정확도를 확보할 수 있어 지하구조물 건설현장에서의 활용성이 충분한 것으로 분석되었다.

The construction industry has the highest occupational accidents/injuries among all industries. Korean government installed surveillance camera systems at construction sites to reduce occupational accident rates. Construction safety managers are monitoring potential hazards at the sites through surveillance system; however, the human capability of monitoring surveillance system with their own eyes has critical issues. Therefore, this study proposed to build a deep learning-based safety monitoring system that can obtain information on the recognition, location, identification of workers and heavy equipment in the construction sites by applying multiple-object tracking with instance segmentation. To evaluate the system's performance, we utilized the MS COCO and MOT challenge metrics. These results present that it is optimal for efficiently automating monitoring surveillance system task at construction sites.

Continuous research efforts have been made on acquiring location data on construction sites. As a result, GPS and RFID are increasingly employed on the site to track the location of equipment and materials. However, these systems are based on radio frequency technologies which require attaching tags on every target entity. Implementing the systems incurs time and costs for attaching/detaching/managing the tags or sensors. For this reason, efforts are currently being made to track construction entities using only cameras. Vision-based 3D tracking has been presented in a previous research work in which the location of construction manpower, vehicle, and materials were successfully tracked. However, the proposed system is still in its infancy and yet to be implemented on practical applications for two reasons. First, it does not involve entity matching across two views, and thus cannot be used for tracking multiple entities, simultaneously. Second, the use of a checker board in the camera calibration process entails a focus-related problem when the baseline is long and the target entities are located far from the cameras. This paper proposes a vision-based method to track multiple workers simultaneously. An entity matching procedure is added to acquire the matching pairs of the same entities across two views which is necessary for tracking multiple entities. Also, the proposed method simplified the calibration process by avoiding the use of a checkerboard, making it more adequate to the realistic deployment on construction sites.

It is difficult to realize automation of welding of lattice type in shipbuilding and assembly processing of shipbuilding and steel structures. Usually, the welding parts of lattice type are welded manually. So there are limitations in continuous and stable quality controls and in increase in productivity because the welding quality depends on worker's skill. That is, automation in welding is necessary. This paper shows shows the development results of a moblie robot for welding of lattice type. Specially. algorithms for its mobile speed and seam tracking controls are introduced.
