CONSTRUCTION SITE IMAGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

The present disclosure relates generally to handheld electronic devices equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers or other location- determining subsystems. The invention is particular useful in the construction industry where multiple worksites are in play that do not necessarily correlate predefined locations in the available map data. Some embodiments of the invention relates to a construction site image management system with a server having a construction site database for a set of construction sites comprising and a user interface allowing a user to graphically define a detection area so that subsequently received images from the field can be assigned to the sites in the database based on the recorded image-location. The system typically has multiple mobile terminals adapted to capture images and the location of capture as well as features prompt the user to approve or reject the captured image and transmit approved images to the server which then assigns them. This enables the server to provide a quasi- live status for all the sites.
