About Technology Start-up Support Scheme for Universities (TSSSU)
In 2014/15, a new Technology Start-up Support Scheme for Universities (TSSSU), under the Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF) was launched by the Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC), to encourage our students and faculties to start up technology businesses and commercialize their research and development (R&D) results, to provide better support for technology start-ups to translate new ideas into business opportunities
About AutoSafe
Seeing the inefficiency in the current site monitoring strategy, which heavily relies on human and on-site supervision. We would like to develop an AI and computer-vision system that can help our end-user (mainly main contractors) to carry out this duty and hope to save Engineers, Managerial staff some time so that they can focus more on design and managerial work but not going out to the site to obtain such low-level information. Our solution has 3 levels, 1) AI-based Automatic site safety monitoring system, using the current CCTV system to monitor safety. 2)Integration with DWSS for drafting safety report, using the information logged by the AI CCTV monitoring system to help Engineers to draft the safety/ incident report. 3) Multi-camera trajectory tracking for site analytics, extending our vision beyond a single CCTV camera so that we can understand the whole site better and allow us to have better evaluation and analytics for the whole construction site, where one camera is impossible to cover the whole site.
