[0002] The construction industry is a vital material production sector and pillar industry of my country's national economy, playing a crucial role in improving living conditions, enhancing infrastructure, and driving economic growth. However, the unique working environment of construction sites, characterized by high personnel mobility and complex large equipment, coupled with a lack of safety awareness among some construction workers, often results in significant safety hazards. Previously, construction sites largely relied on manual scheduling and monitoring to mitigate some of these hazards.
[0003] In the current process of video surveillance of construction sites, the complex environment and diverse construction scenarios make it impossible to fuse multi-source data from different construction scenarios, which affects the effectiveness of building monitoring and control. Furthermore, it is not convenient to make accurate judgments and handle anomalies based on scenario data. Therefore, it does not meet the existing needs. To address this, we propose a video surveillance system for building sites that fuses multi-source data under an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture. Summary of the Invention
