Golparvar-Fard used an NSF grant, a partnership with fellow faculty members Derek Hoiem (computer science) and Tim Bretl (aerospace engineering), and most recently a Faculty Entrepreneurial Fellow (FEF) appointment to develop solutions under the auspices of a startup called Reconstruct. The team has developed a web-based platform, the Flying Superintendent, which uses drones to capture images and video of a construction site and reconstruct them in 3D. Through computer vision analytics, they are able to compare the progress of a site against information models tied to the project.
