Abstract

The task of vision safety monitoring in construction environments presents a formidable challenge, owing to the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of these settings. Despite the advancements in artificial intelligence, the nuanced analysis of small or tiny personal protective equipment (PPE) remains a complex endeavor. In response to this challenge, this paper introduces an innovative safety monitoring system, specifically designed to enhance the safety monitoring of working both at ground level and at elevated heights. This novel system integrates a suite of sophisticated technologies: instance segmentation, shape classification, object tracking, a visualization report, and a real-time notification module. Collectively, these components coalesce to deliver a safety monitoring solution, ensuring a higher standard of protection for construction workers. The experimental results…..
