Studies on safety management are still in their infancy, particularly those aimed at lowering occupational fatalities and accidents at indoor construction sites. In comparison to manual procedures, this study suggests an improved discriminative object localization (IDOL) algorithm to aid safety managers with visualization to improve indoor construction site safety management. The IDOL algorithm employs Grad-CAM visualization images from the EfficientNet-B7 classification network to automatically identify internal characteristics pertinent to the set of classes evaluated by the network model without the need for further annotation. To evaluate the performance of the presented algorithm in the study, localization accuracy in 2D coordinates and localization error in 3D coordinates of the IDOL algorithm and YOLOv5 object detection model, a leading object detection method in the current research area, are compared. The comparison findings demonstrate that the IDOL algorithm provides a higher localization accuracy with more precise coordinates than the YOLOv5 model over both 2D images and 3D point cloud coordinates. The results of the study indicate that the IDOL algorithm achieved improved localization performance over the existing YOLOv5 object detection model and, thus, is able to assist with visualization of indoor construction sites in order to enhance safety management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23083870","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,11]],"date-time":"2023-04-11T01:33:03Z","timestamp":1681176783000},"page":"3870","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Improved Discriminative Object Localization Algorithm for Safety Management of Indoor Construction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Jungeun","family":"Hwang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Inha University, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5199-0946","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kanghyeok","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Smart Construction Technology, Korea Expressway Corporation, Hwaseong 18489, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"May Mo","family":"Ei Zan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Inha University, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Minseo","family":"Jang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Construction & Environmental System, Inha University, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1895-5529","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Do Hyoung","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Inha University, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Walters, D.
