Past Projects
REMOTE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
The objective of this research was to design of a long-distance, wireless communications model suitable for data exchange between construction sites and engineering headquarters. Under this model, common types of electronic construction data can be exchanged in a fast and efficient manner, and construction site personnel can interact and share knowledge, information and electronic resources with the office staff. Results from this work can be found here.
MULTI MODAL RETRIEVAL OF CONSTRUCTION SITE IMAGES FROM MODEL BASED SYSTEMS
The objective of this research was to develop an all inclusive model for construction image indexing and retrieval. This model is based on Content Based Image and Video Retrieval principles while taking into account the specific characteristics and needs of the Construction Industry. Results from this work can be found here .
VISION BASED RETRIEVAL OF CONTEXTUAL PROJECT INFORMATION FOR RAPID ON-SITE DECISION-MAKING IN CONSTRUCTION, INSPECTION, AND MAINTENANCE
The objective of this research was to investigate the requirements of an automated vision based technique to retrieve contextual project information for supporting rapid on-site decision-making in construction, inspection, and maintenance tasks. This can be achieved by designing and implementing a pattern recognition model that allows the identification of construction entities and materials visible in a user's field of view at a given time. Results from this work can be found here.
