stage further , 360-degree cameras can deliver robot scanning of the environment which can then be experienced through Augmented Reality ( AR ). “ You can actually do progress reporting based on the data that comes from the field and you don ' t even need to be on the site ,” notes Kaplanoglu .
“ We ’ re constantly curating how the latest technologies can integrate with input from our partners ,” says Kaplanoglu . “ We ’ re working with companies like SmartVid who are demystifying how ML and AI can be utilised with out of the box solutions that integrate with approaches like Oracle ’ s Construction Intelligence Cloud Service .”
Computer Vision with SmartVid Computer Vision is being used to solve problems such as identifying project progress , tracking delivery of materials , understanding movement of labour and materials , as well as ensuring compliance of physical distancing rules on construction sites . The application of ML techniques to unstructured data derived from videos and photos is becoming increasingly pervasive in tackling several use-cases that were previously tricky to solve .
SmartVid was conceived to reduce project risk around safety , productivity and quality through an easy-to-use and industry-tuned AI platform . This approach is now better supported by IoT , edge computing and the kind of enhanced data integration being championed at the Innovation Lab .
“ The core strategy of SmartVid is to use data you ' re already gathering to unlock new insights for risk on project delivery ,” explains the company ’ s CEO , Josh Kanner . “ SmartVid integrates with the likes of Oracle , and construction management platforms such as Egnyte , Procore and Autodesk .
