Combining Large-Scale 3D Metrology and Mixed Reality for Assembly Quality Control in Modular Construction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The quality control (QC) of assembled modules is an essential process when constructing modular buildings such as hotels and hospitals. Defects that go undetected during module assembly may result in lost productivity in the form of unnecessary transportation, rework or project delays. QC has traditionally been performed using specialized tools and carried out a posteriori in an inspection station dedicated solely to this task. Nowadays, large-scale 3D metrology technology provides a more efficient alternative since it enables accurate measurements to be taken in situ. Additionally, mixed reality (MR) supports the immersive projection of information and guidance instructions. This paper introduces a proof of concept of a framework that combines industrial photogrammetry with the HoloLens 2 MR headset to assist with assembly and QC during the off-site construction phase of modular construction. Many tests were conducted in a laboratory and a factory setting to evaluate the system’s user-friendliness and possible challenges associated with its future implementation. The experiments conducted confirmed that combining 3D metrology with MR offers an interesting solution for integrating QC into the assembly process. However, further work is needed to enhance the measurement workflow and optimize the measurement system’s accuracy

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
