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: 20230184054Abstract: The present invention addresses to an equipment for autonomous abandonment of wells, allocated in its position during the completion of the well. Such an equipment melts the string, cables and accessories and the casing by means of an exothermic reaction (which may have thermite among its reagents). The start of this reaction is remotely triggered according to the interest of the well operator. As a product of the process, there is the formation of a permanent barrier (BIS) to abandon the well. This permanent barrier will be the product of the residual material from the heat release reaction, a molten material from the string and casing, as well as the material responsible for the formation of the BIS, which shall have eutectic characteristics, that is, after its solidification it shall have an expansion in order to ensure that it generates rock-to-rock adhesion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Luis Carlos Marques Pires, Danilo Colombo

Patent number: 11670046Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2022Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Hover Inc.Inventors: Derek Halliday, Antonio Carlos Marques da Silva Junior, Roberto Klein, Adam J.
