CONSTRUCTION workersOBJECT recognition (Computer vision)CONSTRUCTIONStruck‐by accidents often cause serious injuries in construction. Monitoring of the struck‐by hazards in terms of spatial relationship between a worker and a heavy vehicle is crucial to prevent such accidents. The computer vision‐based...
In this paper, a real-time struck-by hazards detection system based on computer vision is proposed to automatically detect onsite hazards at small- and medium-sized construction sites by analyzing far-field surveillance videos. The proposed system consists of image processing technologies such as ...
