• Abstract summary: The number of windows present in a building is directly related to the magnitude of deformation it suffers under earthquakes. In this research, a method to accurately detect and count the number of windows of a building by deploying an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based remote sensing system is proposed. The proposed two-stage method automates the identification and counting of windows by developing computer vision pipelines that utilize data from UAV's onboard camera and other sensors.

• Abstract: Despite the technological advancements in the construction and surveying sector, the inspection of salient features like windows in an under-construction or existing building is predominantly a manual process. Moreover, the number of windows present in a building is directly related to the magnitude of deformation it suffers under earthquakes. In this research, a method to accurately detect and count the number of windows of a building by deploying an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based remote sensing system is proposed. The proposed two-stage method automates the identification and counting of windows by developing computer vision pipelines that utilize data from UAV's onboard camera and other sensors. Quantitative and Qualitative results show the effectiveness of our proposed approach in accurately detecting and counting the windows compared to the existing method.
