  • Patent number: 11935188
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11670046
    Abstract: The scale of modeled building objects from collected imagery is determined by identifying architectural elements within building object imagery, determining a scale of the identified architectural elements by matching them to known industry standard architectural element based on dimensional ratio comparisons and deriving an average scaling factor based on scale of the identified architectural elements. A three dimensional model of the building object is scaled according to the average scaling. Scaled architecture elements within a relative error can be used for scaling the model according to an updated scale factor.

  • Publication number: 20200394836
    Abstract: Determining the scale of building objects within collected imagery is determined by identifying architectural elements within stored building object imagery, determining dimensional ratios for the identified architectural elements, matching the identified architectural element to a known industry standard architectural element based on dimensional ratio comparisons and determining a scaling factor of the building object imagery based on relative error to the determined scale of the identified architectural elements. A three dimensional model of the building object constructed from said building object imagery may be scaled by the scaling factor, and dimensions such as measurements for its components determined.
