  • Patent number: 11922509
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting, extracting, and categorizing structure data from aerial imagery following a major weather event are provided. The system processes digital images and weather data to automatically detect, extract, and categorize structure data following a major weather event. After receiving an indication of a region of interest (“ROI”) from a user, the system retrieves weather mapping data for the ROI and retrieves information related to attributes of structures within the ROI from a machine learning subsystem. The system then cross-references the property data, the weather data, and the structure attributes and assigns a risk rating to the structures within the ROI. Finally, the system generates and delivers a data package to the user.

  • Patent number: 11915368
    Abstract: A system for modeling a roof structure comprising an aerial imagery database and a processor in communication with the aerial imagery database. The aerial imagery database stores a plurality of stereoscopic image pairs and the processor selects at least one stereoscopic image pair among the plurality of stereoscopic image pairs and related metadata from the aerial imagery database based on a geospatial region of interest. The processor identifies a target image and a reference image from the at least one stereoscopic pair and calculates a disparity value for each pixel of the identified target image to generate a disparity map. The processor generates a three dimensional point cloud based on the disparity map, the identified target image and the identified reference image. The processor optionally generates a texture map indicative of a three-dimensional representation of the roof structure based on the generated three dimensional point cloud.

The high-frequency band is cached and processed with side-convolutional blocks before the high-frequency band are passed to a feature decoder. The system applies the feature decoder to an output of the feature encoder based at least in part on one of inverse discrete wavelet transform layers. The system determines boundaries of the one or more land properties based at least in part on a boundary cross-entropy loss function.

An AR icon is determined based upon the type of object detected, and is displayed on the mobile device superimposed on the image frames. The user can manipulate the AR icon to better fit or match the object of interest in the image frames, and can capture the object of interest using a capture icon displayed on the display of the mobile device.
