Safety Risk Recognition Method Based on Abnormal Scenarios

Abstract

Construction safety monitoring is a significant issue in practical engineering. Unfortunately, specific techniques in this field still heavily depend on artificial monitoring. To detect the abnormal scenarios during the construction process automatically, a method was proposed for the detection and localization of abnormal scenarios in time and space. The method consists of three components: (1) an I3D-AE video prediction model, which extracts the video features from multiple I3Ds and reconstructs the video by 3D deconvolution; (2) a spatial localization module AS-CAM, which determines the location of abnormal areas via back-propagating the I3D-AE; (3) a temporal parameter St, which can calculate the abnormal time period. The effectiveness of the method was verified with the use of a dataset, and the resulting data were plotted as ROC curves. The results indicated that the proposed method exceeded 0.9 on the frame-level test and 0.76 on the pixel-level test with the use of the AUC evaluation metric. Therefore, it can be used to assist the construction managers to improve the efficiency of construction safety management.
