Publication number: 20240107152Abstract: An image capture system provides automated prompts for aiding a user in capturing images for use in 3D model creation. While a user is preparing to capture an image, the system provides visual indications that indicate whether a quality-based condition is satisfied. Based on the visual indications, a user can determine whether an image, if captured, would likely be suitable for use in creating a 3D model. Determining if the quality-based condition is satisfied may include monitoring output generated by one or more sensors and comparing the output against a threshold value. Additionally, the system may analyze the visual content or metadata associated with an image to determine if the quality-based condition is satisfied and request user input to further identify certain image features that were identified by the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Manish Upendran, William Castillo, Derek Halliday

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.

Patent number: 11030823Abstract: Improper positioning of architectural features is corrected during construction or reconstruction of a multi-dimensional (e.g., 3D) building model using known architectural dimensions and known relationships to planes (facades). The system identifies architectural elements that have known architectural standard positions relative to planes within the multi-dimensional model. Dimensional measurements of architectural elements in the multi-dimensional model are used to properly position one or more architectural elements relative to associated planes within the multi-dimensional building model. For example, a window position on a 3D building model first façade is moved inward (offset) according to the known relationship of a window (architectural element) being inset relative to a façade (e.g., exterior wall). In addition, a window frame could be repositioned outwardly relative to the same façade plane based on a known relationship of a frame being located on an external surface of the façade (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2019Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Hover Inc.Inventors: Manish Upendran, Adam J.
