Title: Construction Disaster Management Attempts Integrating Machine Vision and Inertial Navigation Technics

Abstract:

The report introduces the construction disaster management attempts integrating machine vision and inertial navigation technics by the keynote speaker’s own research team. Those attempts include but not limits to: 1) Reverse modeling of machine vision - attempting to apply it to safety posture assessment of construction workers; 2) Multi type inertial sensor collaboration - attempting to apply it to worker efficiency monitoring; 3) Point cloud semantic segmentation - attempting to apply it to safety prevention and control during typhoon warning periods in road and bridge construction sites; 4) Monocular machine vision - attempting to apply it to non-contact concrete crack measurement; 5) Digital Twin - attempting to quickly identify typhoon safety hazards on construction sites; 6) Inertial Navigation Technology - attempting to apply to collision warning of assembled lifting components; 7) Inertial navigation - construction positioning based on SLAM-IMU coupling in scenarios where satellite positioning and base station positioning are ineffective; and 8) Infrared machine vision - reverse mapping of abnormal information in spatial geometric enclosure structures based on infrared point clouds.
