Abstract

State of the art internet of things (IoT) and mobile monitoring systems promise to help gathering real time progress information from construction sites. However, on remote sites the adaptation of those technologies is frequently difficult due to a lack of infrastructure and often harsh and dynamic environments. On the other hand, visual inspection by experts usually allows a quick assessment of a project’s state. In some fields, drones are already commonly used to capture aerial footage for the purpose of state estimation by domain experts.
