Patent number: 11961180Abstract: A computer system generates an outline of a roof of a structure based on a set of lateral images depicting the structure. For each image in the set of lateral images, one or more rooflines corresponding to the roof of the structure are determined. The computer system determines how the rooflines connect to one another. Based on the determination, the rooflines are connected to generate an outline of the roof.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: HOVER Inc.Inventors: Ajay Mishra, William Castillo, A.

Patent number: 11935188Abstract: A system and method is provided for constructing a labeled and dimensioned multidimensional (e.g., 3D) building model from building object imagery (e.g., ground-level imagery). The method begins by retrieve building object imagery, the building object imagery collected based on directed capture with a mobile device. The method continues by constructing a scaled multi-dimensional building model, the scale based on sizing of at least one selected architectural feature. The method continues by identifying architectural elements within facades of the multi-dimensional building model. The method continues by determining dimensions of at least one of the architectural elements, the dimensions based on the scale. The method continues by determining dimensions (e.g., area) of at least one of the architectural elements. The method continues by labeling each identified architectural element with at least an identifier and by labeling at least one of the architectural elements with the determined dimensions.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Hover Inc.Inventors: Derek Halliday, Antonio Carlos Marques da Silva Junior, Roberto Klein, Adam J.

Publication number: 20230360330Abstract: Visualizing three dimensional content is complicated by display platforms capable of more degrees of freedom to display the content than interface tools have to navigate that content. Disclosed are methods and systems for displaying select portions of the content and generating virtual camera positions with associated look angles for the select portions, such as planar geometries of a three dimensional building, thereby constraining the degrees of freedom for improved navigation through views of the content. Look angles can be associated with axes of the content and fields of view.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: Hover Inc.Inventors: Manish Upendran, Adam J.

Publication number: 20230336866Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for directed image capture of a subject of interest, such as a physical building. Directed image capture can produce higher quality images such as content more centrally located within an image frame (or an associated viewing device or other display), higher quality images have greater value for subsequent uses of captured images such as for information extraction or model reconstruction. Graphical guide(s) overlaid within an image frame can facilitate quality assessments for the content or the image frame itself, such as for pixel distance of the subject of interest to a centroid of the image frame (or an associated viewing device or other display), or the effect of obscuring objects. Quality assessments can further include instructions for improving the quality of the image capture for the content of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: Hover Inc.Inventors: William Castillo, Adam J.
