• Abstract: An important component of computer vision research is object detection. In recent years, there has been tremendous progress in the study of construction site images. However, there are obvious problems in construction object detection, including complex backgrounds, varying-sized objects, and poor imaging quality. In the state-of-the-art approaches, elaborate attention mechanisms are developed to handle space-time features, but rarely address the importance of channel-wise feature adjustments. We propose a lightweight Optimized Positioning (OP) module to improve channel relation based on global feature affinity association, which can be used to determine the Optimized weights adaptively for each channel. OP first computes the intermediate optimized position by comparing each channel with the remaining channels for a given set of feature maps. A weighted aggregation of all the channels will then be used to represent each channel. The OP-Net module is a general deep neural network module that can be plugged into any deep neural network. Algorithms that utilize deep learning have demonstrated their ability to identify a wide range of objects from images nearly in real time. Machine intelligence can potentially benefit the construction industry by automatically analyzing productivity and monitoring safety using algorithms that are linked to construction images. The benefits of on-site automatic monitoring are immense when it comes to hazard prevention. Construction monitoring tasks can also be automated once construction objects have been correctly recognized. Object detection task in construction site images is experimented with extensively to demonstrate its efficacy and effectiveness. A benchmark test using SODA demonstrated that our OP-Net was capable of achieving new state-of-the-art performance in accuracy while maintaining a reasonable computational overhead.

  Current state-of-the-art visual recognition systems rely on pretraining a neural network on a large-scale dataset and finetuning the network weights on a smaller dataset. In this work, we prove that dynamically adapting network architectures tailored for each domain task along with weight finetuning benefits in both efficiency and effectiveness. Our method can be easily generalized to an unsupervised paradigm by replacing supernet training with self-supervised learning in the source domain tasks and performing linear evaluation in the downstream tasks.
