Idle Time Analysis of Construction Equipment by Digital Image Processing
Keywords:
Construction equipment, Digital imaging EquipmentAbstract
Correct analyses of construction equipment idle time have great importance for the cost effective energy having of construction equipment’s in mega project. The higher productivity can achieve with the less idle time of equipment, however, it is idle time by human usual observation. This paper describes image-processing based methodology to automatically assess\count the idle time of hydraulic excavation. The image color space (HSV)(Hues, Saturation and Values) are used as basis far tracing algorithm and image segmentation. The HSV color space shows important advantages over the RGB (Red, Green and Blue) color space in determining and tracing construction equipment.
