Publication number: 20230342510Abstract: A system and method for construction estimation using aerial images is provided. The system receives at least one aerial image of a building. An estimation engine processes the aerial image at a plurality of angles to automatically identify a plurality (e.g., perimeter and interior) lines in the image corresponding to a plurality of features of a roof the building. The estimation engine allows users to generate two-dimensional and three-dimensional models of the roof by automatically delineating various roof features, and generates a report including information about the roof of the building.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Applicant: Xactware Solutions, Inc.Inventors: James Edward Loveland, Jeffrey Clayton Taylor, Jeffery Devon Lewis, Bradley McKay Childs, Corey David Reed, Jared William Robertson

Patent number: 11688186Abstract: Systems and methods for rapidly developing annotated computer models of structures and properties is provided. The system generates three-dimensional (3D) models of structures and property using a wide variety of digital imagery, and/or can process existing 3D models created by other systems. The system processes the 3D models to automatically identify candidate objects within the 3D models that may be suitable for annotation, such as roof faces, chimneys, windows, gutters, etc., using computer vision techniques to automatically identify such objects. Once the candidate objects have been identified, the system automatically generates user interface screens which gather relevant information related to the candidate objects, so as to rapidly obtain, associate, and store annotation information related to the candidate objects.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Insurance Services Office, Inc.Inventors: Dave Harris, Ron Richardson, Corey David Reed, Jeffery Devon Lewis, Jeffrey Clayton Taylor
