TerraVehicle: A Million‐Point‐Per‐Vehicle Dataset for Fine‐Grained Component Segmentation
This paper introduces TerraVehicle, a novel million‐point‐per‐vehicle dataset with centimeter‐level accuracy for fine‐grained component segmentation. Utilizing topology‐constrained primitives for annotation, TerraVehicle offers significantly improved precision over existing datasets. It serves as a high‐quality benchmark to advance research in 3D point

Abstract This paper proposes a fully automated end‐to‐end inspection‐path‐planning strategy for underground utilities, such as pipelines, based on building information modeling (BIM). An automatic extraction method is developed to process utility information from BIM models, using a registration step that pairs each pipeline with its corresponding ...

ABSTRACT E‐waste pickers play a valuable role in the circular economy and divert waste from landfills. Despite their contributions to the economy, informal e‐waste pickers work in very adverse conditions. With a view to improving their livelihoods and working conditions and possibly increasing their integration, Korten's four generations framework is ...

Walking and Perceptions of Danger in Various Cities
ABSTRACT Taking inspiration from Mauss' classic idea of walking as one of many “techniques of the body,” this essay reflects on how perceptions of danger shape how one walks in various cities. I draw on my own research on the limits and possibilities of quantified walking as well as on urban experiences I have had in my life.

Abstract For existing bridge weigh‐in‐motion technologies, the main challenge in accurate weight estimation is to overcome the difficulty of identifying the closely spaced axles. To do so, many field test data are generally required for each bridge in application. To address such a challenge, a novel two‐level sequential artificial neural network (ANN)

Zero‐shot framework for construction equipment task monitoring
Abstract Vision‐based monitoring of construction equipment is limited in scalability due to the high resource demands of collecting and labeling large datasets across diverse environments. This study proposes a framework that employs Zero‐Shot Learning (ZSL) and Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) to recognize construction equipment tasks from video

Sustaining Decarbonisation: Energy Storage, Green Extractivism, and the Future of Mining
Abstract Within the context of the so‐called green energy transition, the mining industry has successfully repositioned itself as a facilitator of, rather than an impediment to, a sustainable future. Underlying the success of this claim is a discourse of sustainability that, on the one hand, equates sustainability with decarbonisation and, on the other
