Abstract
This paper presents a real time and fully automated system using signal processing techniques for data extraction from digital video images, audio files and thermal images of construction work activities. This data extraction system is developed to detect the construction workers and their movements within a given work area to measure tool time and to assess worker productivity. The worker tracking system is based on the characteristics of the hardhat extracted from digital videos to differentiate worker from others such as supervisors and engineers. Furthermore, the work status of the worker is tracked using Infrared cameras and unidirectional microphones. Thermal images extracted from infrared cameras recognize whether the worker is working or idle. The audio files from the microphones identify the sound wave patterns of the worker tools. This real time and automated information is expected to measure the tool time and productivity of a given work within a specific time period. The information extracted and analysed from the system will certainly aid the project managers to better plan to optimize labor and crews to achieve the expected productivity.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
