Abstract
The monitoring of concrete vibration quality is crucial for ensuring construction quality. This paper proposes a monitoring method that combines computer vision and Large Language Model (LLM). First, an unsupervised shadow removal method is used to optimize image quality. Next, a multi-head classification model is applied to conduct a multi-dimensional comprehensive assessment of vibration quality. After that, the classification results are mapped to natural language information through a key-value image-to-text mapping method. Finally, the natural language is used for inference in the LLM to generate real-time feedback. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 94.45 % in classifying the vibration quality. Additionally, by combining image classification results with LLM for logical reasoning and feedback generation, the system can provide detailed descriptions of compaction quality and corresponding solutions. This research has been successfully applied in real-world projects and is expected to promote the intelligent development of construction operations.
期刊介绍:
Automation in Construction is an international journal that focuses on publishing original research papers related to the use of Information Technologies in various aspects of the construction industry. The journal covers topics such as design, engineering, construction technologies, and the maintenance and management of constructed facilities.
The scope of Automation in Construction is extensive and covers all stages of the construction life cycle. This includes initial planning and design, construction of the facility, operation and maintenance, as well as the eventual dismantling and recycling of buildings and engineering structures.
