K&K is testing image review on real construction photos

The released iOS app captures project media. A separate R&D effort tests whether computer-vision models can consistently identify visible people, materials, tools, and blocked views.

What is released

KK Data Field Logger captures photos, video, voice notes, and location information, assigns media to project IDs, and manages an upload queue when connectivity is unavailable.

What is being tested

  • Whether the model can identify visible workers, tools, materials, equipment, and work areas
  • Whether partially blocked objects are missed or incorrectly labeled
  • Whether results remain consistent across different lighting, distance, angle, and site conditions
  • How a human reviewer should accept, correct, or reject a model observation

What the research does not do

The test output is not an inspection, safety determination, engineering decision, progress approval, payment approval, or financial-control system. Current tests use small reviewed image sets and remain outside the released app.
