Article Synopsis
  • The increase in construction activity leads to more waste, necessitating advanced models for effective sorting and recycling.
  • This study presents WasteSAM, a refined version of the segment anything model (SAM), designed to better handle the complexities of construction waste images using a dataset of over 15,000 samples across five material categories.
  • WasteSAM shows significant improvements in performance metrics, such as a 23.9% increase in dice similarity and a 30.0% boost in normalized surface distance, while also emphasizing the importance of high-quality, diverse datasets to accurately reflect real construction site conditions.

Since the life cycle of a building spans more than 50 years, studies of the environmental impacts in the construction industry have focused on reducing the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions during the operation and maintenance phase. The products of the construction industry are assembled using various building materials manufactured outside of the construction site. Consequently, it is essential that the manufactured building materials be transported to the construction site using various types of transportation methods.
