personnel, and damage and defects on building and civil infrastructure elements, to
the surveying of construction site elements using videogrammetry.
The established recognition and surveying processes can be used to enable the
automation of several civil infrastructure monitoring, assessment and management
tasks, such as construction sequence analysis, as-built quantity take-offs, as-built/
as-designed comparisons, productivity and project monitoring and control sys-
tems, activity sequence analysis, maintenance decision making, lean construction,
vulnerability assessment, and so on.
