Platforms count differently and update at different times.

What this skill does

Defines text-region, object, table and progress structures for site photos and scanned drawings, with analysis routing and JSON export examples. OCR, object detection, table extraction and progress functions in the source return simulated samples; they do not establish real image recognition or safety-compliance assessment. Production use needs actual OCR, detection and segmentation models. The sample exporter only supports JSON and raises an error for other formats.

What you can do with it

  • Design construction-image data structures and processing prototypes

When to use it

  • When developing an image-analysis workflow rather than relying on simulated results

Example prompts

Generated from the skill’s documentation as examples; not results of actual runs.

Explain how to replace this prototype’s simulated OCR with a real service.

# Image To Data

## Overview

Based on DDC methodology (Chapter 2.4), this skill extracts structured data from construction images using computer vision, OCR, and AI models to analyze site photos, scanned documents, and drawings.

## Common Use Cases

### Analyze Site Photo

```python
analyzer = ConstructionImageAnalyzer()

# Load image (in production, read from file)
with open("site_photo.jpg", "rb") as f:
    image_data = f.read()

result = analyzer.analyze_site_photo(image_data)

print(f"Objects detected: {result['objects_detected']}")
print(f"Safety compliance: {result['safety_compliance']['overall_compliance']}")
print(f"Progress: {result['progress'].percent_complete}%")
```

### Extract Drawing Data

```python
with open("floor_plan.png", "rb") as f:
    drawing_data = f.read()

data = analyzer.extract_drawing_data(drawing_data)

print(f"Drawing: {data['title_block'].get('drawing_number')}")
print(f"Project: {data['title_block'].get('project_name')}")
for table in data['tables']:
    print(f"Table with {len(table['records'])} rows")
```

### Detect Safety Violations

```python
detector = ObjectDetector()

with open("site_photo.jpg", "rb") as f:
    image_data = f.read()

safety = detector.detect_safety_compliance(image_data)

if safety['overall_compliance'] == 'non-compliant':
    for violation in safety['violations']:
        print(f"Violation: {violation['type']} - Count: {violation['count']}")
```
