Abstract

The construction industry has been increasingly reliant on innovative technologies to enhance project management processes, particularly in progress tracking and reporting. This paper explores the integration of deep learning-based image recognition systems for automating progress tracking in large-scale construction projects. By leveraging advanced computer vision techniques, project managers can obtain real-time insights into project status, allowing for timely decision-making and resource allocation. The use of deep learning algorithms facilitates accurate analysis of visual data captured through images and videos, significantly reducing manual reporting overhead. This paper discusses the current landscape of image-based progress tracking, outlines the methodologies involved in implementing deep learning solutions, and presents case studies demonstrating successful applications in the construction sector. Additionally, challenges associated with implementing these technologies are examined, along with future directions for research and development.
