How viAct’s Gen AI-Enabled Computer Vision Works
1. Data Collection
High-resolution cameras and drones capture extensive visual data from the construction site, including images and videos of ongoing activities, equipment, and structural components. Whether it is detecting PPE compliance, following work at height safety instructions, activating danger zones or environmental monitoring, the computer vision technology has its surveillance set all across the sites.
?
2. Data Analysis
AI algorithms process the visual data, identifying patterns and anomalies. Machine learning models are trained to recognize specific construction elements and detect deviations from expected norms. The Gen AI applications allows the use of natural language processing that accumulates the collected data and generates a pattern based outcome. The analyzed data can be tracked from a large resource accumulated since the beginning.
?
3. Insights and Alerts
The system generates actionable insights and real-time alerts based on the analyzed data. These insights are presented through user-friendly dashboards, enabling project managers to make informed decisions quickly. These alerts can be provided via mobile phones and smart wearables that can be easily connected with the system.
Gen AI based chatbots prevent the workers from wasting precious time and seek suggestions in absence of a supervisor.
