2023-05-25

Background


With the rapid development of society and the continuous improvement of the construction market, the volume of construction projects across the country has gradually increased, and the environment on construction sites has become more complex, and at the same time, various safety production problems have been exposed. With the rapid development of new technologies such as 5G, the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, BIM, and mobile Internet, the development path of the construction site is affected and gradually changes to "smart". "Smart construction site" combines artificial intelligence, sensing technology, machine vision, virtual reality and other high-tech technologies, and at the same time implants these technologies into various objects such as buildings, machinery, personnel wearable facilities, site entry and exit gates, etc., to establish " The construction project information ecosystem of "interconnection, collaboration, intelligent production, and scientific management" can identify and prevent safety accidents on time, and improve the efficiency of construction operations.


Application requirements


The construction site environment is complex, and the high-risk building scenes on the traditional construction site mainly rely on artificial visual recognition, so it is difficult to detect dangers in advance and take preventive measures while safety is insufficient. At the same time, there are complex personnel on the construction site, there are great challenges in employee management and control, and the convenience is insufficient. "Smart construction site" has the following requirements for the safety protection management system:

1. Simultaneous monitoring of multiple places: 24-hour situational awareness in multiple places such as construction work areas, employee living areas, and entrances and exits, so that you can check the live situation at any time and respond to emergencies promptly;

2. Personnel behavior and clothing recognition: it can accurately detect human objects and realize snapshots, real-time and accurate recognition of employee clothing and posture;

3. Send warning alarms in time: In case of violations such as high-altitude throwing objects, not wearing safety helmets, smoking on the construction site, illegal parking of non-motor vehicles, etc., warning alarms can be triggered automatically and in real-time;

4. Improve operational efficiency: reduce labor management costs, real-time inspection and supervision, and improve production efficiency.

Field Application

After the front-end acquisition equipment (camera, sensor) collects images, sensor data, etc., the collected images and other data are uploaded to the user's software running module through the gateway, and then the software processes the collected images and other data, and the image Perform visual recognition, and if dangerous information is identified, the system will send an alert to the user.
