Image To Data

Image To Data

Overview

Based on DDC methodology (Chapter 2.4), this skill extracts structured data from construction images using computer vision, OCR, and AI models to analyze site photos, scanned documents, and drawings.

Common Use Cases

Analyze Site Photo

analyzer = ConstructionImageAnalyzer()

# Load image (in production, read from file)
with open("site_photo.jpg", "rb") as f:
    image_data = f.read()

result = analyzer.analyze_site_photo(image_data)

print(f"Objects detected: {result['objects_detected']}")
print(f"Safety compliance: {result['safety_compliance']['overall_compliance']}")
print(f"Progress: {result['progress'].percent_complete}%")

Extract Drawing Data

with open("floor_plan.png", "rb") as f:
    drawing_data = f.read()

data = analyzer.extract_drawing_data(drawing_data)

print(f"Drawing: {data['title_block'].get('drawing_number')}")
print(f"Project: {data['title_block'].get('project_name')}")
for table in data['tables']:
    print(f"Table with {len(table['records'])} rows")

Detect Safety Violations

detector = ObjectDetector()

with open("site_photo.jpg", "rb") as f:
    image_data = f.read()

safety = detector.detect_safety_compliance(image_data)

if safety['overall_compliance'] == 'non-compliant':
    for violation in safety['violations']:
        print(f"Violation: {violation['type']} - Count: {violation['count']}")
