However, implementing these advanced information and sensing technologies is difficult for many engineers. This book provides civil engineers with the technical detail of this advanced technology and how to apply it to their individual projects.
- Explains how to best capture raw geometrical and visual data from infrastructure scenes and assess their quality
- Offers valuable insights on how to convert the raw data into actionable information and knowledge stored in Digital Twins
- Bridges the gap between the theoretical aspects and real-life applications of computer vision
