Starting point
A moving camera cannot provide a fixed view of one area. Camera movement and relevant events need to be separated for process analysis.
2025–2026 / COMPUTER VISION · 3 SITES
From camera movement to process information.
Camera-based analysis of construction workflows, now in use on three construction sites: stabilise moving footage from the crane, capture events and make activities visible in a shift overview.
One concrete process is enough to get started.
Development work
The approach combines image stabilisation, event analysis and an interface for reviewing shifts. The project started as a pilot at one crane and now runs on three construction sites.
Project stage
In use on three construction sites and under further development. Defensible economic conclusions require evaluation in each operating environment.
INSIDE THE DEPLOYMENT
Cameras on the crane. Detection in the frame.
Original views from the deployment: the camera overview of one of the sites and an analysed single frame. The interface was translated for this page and location details are anonymised.
THE TECHNICAL WORKFLOW
A stable reference before an event.
Camera movement and movement in the observed workflow need to be considered separately. The diagram shows the processing logic.

WHAT THE PROJECT STAGE MEANSFrom a pilot at one crane
From a pilot at one crane
to three construction sites.
Image stabilisation
Moving footage is prepared to support a more consistent view of the observed area.
Event analysis
Relevant events are placed in a context that can be examined across the shift.
Three sites
Started at one crane, now in use on three construction sites. Economic value is evaluated per site.
