  • Publication number: 20260320518
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically tracking construction progress includes receiving, at one or more processors communicatively coupled to one or more image sensors, processed imaging data including one or more images of a construction site. The images have been captured by image sensors equipped with an imaging system. The method further includes processing, using a vision large language model (LLM) executed by the processors, the images to identify a status at the site of (i) at least one physical structure or (ii) at least one site condition. Processing includes extracting features to generate structured data representations of the images, identifying an object within those representations indicative of a site status, classifying the object using a transformer-based neural network to determine a semantic category of the status, and generating a textual description that characterizes the status based on at least the semantic category of the status.
