Achieving digital transformation of construction photography work at construction sites with AI technology Photo management app for construction work in general, "AmiVoice® PhotoTORUZO" Now on sale

Advanced Media Inc. (Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; Chairman and CEO: Suzuki Kiyoyuki; hereinafter referred to as "Advanced Media") will begin selling "AmiVoice Photo TORUZO," a photo management app for all construction work that will significantly improve the efficiency of taking and managing construction photos at construction sites, on Monday, May 2024, 5.

"AmiVoice Photo TORUZO" utilizes image recognition, character recognition, and voice recognition to reduce the labor required for advance preparation when taking photos of reinforcement bars. The new app has been equipped with new functions and will be released as an app that significantly reduces the time it takes to take and organize photos of all aspects of construction work.

The new functions installed this time make it easy to take and manage photos required for construction work in general from a tablet device. It is now possible to take photos in any position or with an electronic whiteboard, such as "construction status management photos" to take and record the construction status, progress, and construction process, "material acceptance photos" to manage the building materials used on-site, and photos to attach to "safety documents" required to ensure safety on-site, without the need to illustrate them on a drawing. In addition, it is equipped with functions essential for organizing photos, such as photo tagging and search functions, and allows you to create a construction photo ledger with intuitive operations.

In addition, the app is equipped with an "electronic marker function" that digitizes magnets that can be attached directly to rebars as markers to make it easier to see whether rebars are arranged according to drawings and the number of rebars during rebar arrangement inspections. By simply tapping on a photograph of rebar arrangement, it is possible to attach numbered electronic markers to the rebar arrangement in the image. This allows you to take photos without having to carry magnets around, eliminates the hassle of attaching magnets to rebar arrangements and removing them, and improves the efficiency of rebar arrangement inspections.

Marker function

In addition, we have improved the function to make it easier to use by making the shooting status of reinforcement photos visible in a list and highlighting areas on the floor plan that require photography to prevent missing any photos.
Previously, there was an issue with areas with intricate reinforcement arrangement, where the highlight display would overlap on the floor plan, making it difficult to tap the display of the area you want to photograph, making it difficult to take a picture. To address this issue, we have added a function that allows you to narrow down your search by area, such as "pillars" or "girders." By extracting only the narrowed-down areas, we have eliminated the overlapping of highlight displays, making it easier to tap when photographing reinforcement arrangement.

In addition, when there are multiple symbol images, such as "end" and "center," for the same symbol (such as a beam), a new "branch selection function" has been added that makes it easy to link the highlighted area on the floor plan with multiple symbol images, allowing you to quickly create an electronic whiteboard with photos.

Advanced Media aims to realize AISH (AI Super Humanizing), in which people enhance their capabilities through AI technology, and will continue to focus on providing services that combine AI voice recognition AmiVoice with people.

Features of "AmiVoice Photo TORUZO"

1. Significantly reduce the time required to take and organize photographs of construction work in general
In addition to the previously offered "reinforcement photo management," it is now possible to take photos of all aspects of construction work, such as "construction status management photos," "material acceptance photos," and "safety document photos." In addition, it is equipped with essential photo organization functions such as photo tagging and search functions, making it possible to create a construction photo ledger with intuitive operations.

2. Electronic marker function makes reinforcement inspection more efficient
The app is equipped with an "electronic marker function" that digitizes magnets that can be attached directly to rebars as a marker to make it easier to see whether the rebars are arranged according to the drawings and the pitch of the rebars. The electronic markers can be installed simply by tapping on the screen. This eliminates the need to attach and remove magnets at the construction site. There is no risk of magnets being left behind as foreign objects due to forgetting to remove them, and this is expected to improve construction quality.

3. The shooting status of the reinforcement photo is visualized by highlighting. Narrowed search and branch selection are also possible.
The shooting status of the reinforcement photos is highlighted and made visible in a list. The "narrowed search function" allows you to narrow down the search by parts such as "pillars" and "girders", so you can smoothly tap the part you want to photograph without overlapping highlights of parts with intricate reinforcement.
In addition, the "branch selection function" makes it easy to link highlighted areas on a drawing with multiple symbol diagrams, allowing you to quickly create an electronic whiteboard with photos.

4. Image, character and voice recognition reduce the workload of reinforcing bar photos
"Reinforcement photo management" utilizes image and character recognition, and AI extracts each symbol from the PDF list, automating the generation of the electronic whiteboard. It also includes a voice command shooting function using voice recognition, various functions to prevent missing photos on-site, and a function to output electronic whiteboard information, reinforcement photos, and floor plans in one report, streamlining each process of reinforcement photo management in one stop.
