Critical Reflection

 As I stated in my introductory email, my weakness is that I startle when speaking in front of people. Critical Thinking and Communicating module allowed me to express my thoughts and opinions verbally by answering questions in front of the class. Through the lessons, I have slowly gained confidence as I realized that I am just the same as others and that I should not feel bad about my weakness. As I was able to develop confidence in speaking through the lessons, I have somewhat achieved my objective but I know could have achieved my objective if I had spoken up more to test myself. This module provided me a stepping stone to learn more about myself and improve on other weaknesses when it comes to writing and speaking. To become better in writing and speaking, I observed and learned from my peers and lecturer in class and the previous blogs by other classes in the lecturer’s Blogspot page. Also, this module made me realize I should also improve on clarity and fluency when speaking. To

Contribution to Research Project

1) I have done the minutes for the team by ensuring timely discussions and taking down each member’s ideas.  2) I have chosen to tackle a problem relating to PPE detection system for group’s vetting. In the end, we have chosen AI-powered PPE detection as our research problem.  3) I contributed by listing the smart drone’s features and existing AI and technologies for an AI-powered PPE detection system. I have researched through the internet and I was able to find relevant AI and technologies about AI-powered PPE detection system. I have done the same for smart drone’s features. 4) I am currently in the midst of generating possible benefits that the use of drones may bring for the company, Invigilo and to the consumers. After that, I will put down my thoughts in our report.  5) I replaced the stakeholder to 'Shanghai Tunnel Engineering' under the benefits after our group's discussion to change the stakeholder. This would also mean changing the benefits so that its befitting

Reader Response Draft 3: Real-Time PPE Detection with Computer Vision and AI

The article “Transforming Workplace Safety: Harnessing AI for Real-Time PPE Monitoring” explores the impact of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) detection by AI and several advantages of the use of AI to deal with non-compliance of not wearing PPE (Rebecca, L. n.d). The technology, empowered with AI-enabled image and video analysis can identify various personal protective equipment and promptly send alerts regarding individuals lacking proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) or not wearing it correctly. (Lambert, R. n.d). Based on one of the few companies that supply this technology, the technology offers construction site monitoring and provides centralized oversight to managers through a user-friendly platform by sending real-time safety alerts for PPE non-compliance. It also provides workplace recordings to obtain video data on workplace safety and potential hazards for identifying and preventing accidents (V3 Smart Technologies, 2024). The technology works by obtaining red-gre

The article “Transforming Workplace Safety: Harnessing AI for Real-Time PPE Monitoring” explores the impact of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) detection by AI and several advantages of the use of AI to deal with non-compliance of not wearing PPE (Rebecca, L., n.d). The system, empowered with AI-enabled image and video analysis, can identify various personal protective equipment, promptly sending alerts for individuals who do not have proper gear (Lambert, R. 2023). Based on one of the few companies that supply this system, the system offers remote construction site monitoring and provides centralized oversight to managers through a user-friendly platform and by sending real-time safety alerts for PPE non-compliance. It also provides workplace recordings to obtain video data on workplace safety and potential hazards for identifying and preventing accidents (V3 Smart Technologies, 2024). The system simply works by obtaining red-green-blue (RGB) images from CCTV, which are transmitted

Summary Reader Response Draft 1

The built environment industry is recognized as one of the most dangerous globally, with safety being a paramount concern for companies on a global scale. Ensuring that site workers adhere to workplace regulations and are adequately outfitted with personal protective equipment (PPE) is imperative daily to safeguard them from potential accidents (V3 Smart Technologies, 2024). V3 Smart Technology's PPE detection system ensures construction site safety with advanced features. It seamlessly detects staff wearing construction gear, regardless of lighting conditions or gear manufacturer. The system goes beyond by offering remote construction site monitoring and providing centralized oversight to managers through a user-friendly platform. Real-time safety alerts for PPE non-compliance enable swift corrective action, bolstering worker protection and enhancing overall safety on construction sites. With this cutting-edge technology developed by V3 Smart Technology, there is significant poten

Description about Real-Time PPE Detection with Computer Vision and AI (V3SmartTech) (Photo taken V3SmartTech website) 1) I have started by getting a quick information from ChatGPT on any technology in civil engineering field that uses AI to make the job of workers in the construction field effective or safe. I have simply input "Provide me some examples of available technology that uses AI in civil engineering field" in ChatGPT for a possible list of available AI technologies.  2) I was drawn to one of the AI applications which was provided by ChatGPT known as 'Real-Time PPE Detection with Computer Vision and AI' . 3) I prompted ChatGPT further on the technology's capabilities and limitations and its functions so that I can gain a quick sense of technology's effectiveness as to whether this is a good topic for me to touch on for thesis. I have simply input "Provide me with the technology's capability and limitations as well as functions". Note th
