A Framework for Camera Planning in Construction Site using 4D BIM and VPL

With the recent rapid advancement of vision technologies, recognized research widely applies to resolve the construction industry’s remaining problem as known quality, cost, time, and safety. However, there are few studies on how to place visual devices for effectively collecting images/videos on construction activities. This study proposes a framework for camera planning using 4D BIM and visual programming language (VPL) that considers construction’s nature. A case study was also implemented, whose results reveal the proposed method’s enormous potential in camera positioning, simulation, and schedule installation.
