Camera Deployment Planning and Evaluation in Construction

Sectek是为小型和大型组织提供IP视频监控服务的领导者。的 本研究项目的目的是帮助该公司提高其视频监控的有效性 建筑工地的系统。重点是如何改进对《公约》的规划和评价， 视频监控系统的摄像头部署在施工工地从项目业主的 perspective.这里提出了一种新的方法来找到一个摄像机部署选项， 项目业主在施工活动中获得最大的投资回报（ROI）。的方法 首先对视频监控系统的摄像头视图进行建模，以估计 潜在的相机部署。然后，基于对建筑物的捕捉，分析了系统的投资回报率 覆盖范围内的信息。这样，提供最大ROI的摄像机部署可以是 鉴定该方法将被集成到设计视频监控系统的实践中， Sectek预计将减少设计浪费和重复劳动在Sectek，考虑到有效性， 目前，这些系统通常通过经验和试错来实现。这将提高竞争力。 在设计用于监控建筑项目的视频监控系统时，而且， 当设计的系统在建筑工地实施时，将为加拿大带来整体效益。

Sectek is a leader in offering the IP video surveillance service to both small and large organizations. The objective of this research project is to help the company enhance the effectiveness of its video surveillance systems at construction jobsites. The focus is placed on how to improve the planning and evaluation of the camera deployment of the video surveillance system at a construction jobsite from the project owner's perspective. A novel methodology is proposed here to find a camera deployment option that provides the project owner with the maximum return on investment (ROI) during construction activities. The methodology starts with modeling the camera views of a video surveillance system to estimate the jobsite coverage for potential camera deployments. Then, the ROI of the system is analyzed based on the capture of the construction information under the coverage. This way, the camera deployment that provides the maximum ROI could be identified. The methodology will be integrated into the practice for designing video surveillance systems in Sectek. It is expected to reduce the designing waste and rework in Sectek, considering the effectiveness of the systems is currently often achieved through experience and trial-and-error. It will increase the competitiveness of Secktek, when designing the video surveillance systems for monitoring construction projects. Also, it will bring overall benefits to Canada, when the designed systems are implemented at construction jobsites.
