Abstract: Described in detail herein are systems and methods for generating computerized models of structures using geometry extraction and reconstruction techniques. The system includes a computing device coupled to a input device. The input device obtains raw data scanned by a sensor. The computing device is programmed to execute a data fusion process is applied to fuse the raw data, and a geometry extraction process is performed on the fused data to extract features such as walls, floors, ceilings, roof planes, etc. Large- and small-scale features of the structure are reconstructed using the extracted features. The large- and small-scale features are reconstructed by the system into a floor plan (contour) and/or a polyhedron corresponding to the structure. The system can also process exterior features of the structure to automatically identify condition and areas of roof damage.

Abstract: Systems and methods for data transfer and platform integration using quick response (QR) codes are provided. The system generates first item data associated with a first property item, generates one or more QR codes that encrypt and store the first item data, and sends or displays the one or more QR codes. The system reads the one or more QR codes from an application program installed on a computing device to obtain the encrypted first item data. The system decrypts, using a decryption key, the encrypted first item data to obtain the first item data from the QR code. The system generates, by the application program, first analysis data based at least in part on the first item data.

Abstract: Machine learning systems and methods for return on investment determinations from sparse data are provided. The system identifies one or more renovation projects of one or more properties, adjusts a property price for each of the one or more properties based at least in part on a price index, determines a group of properties with similar property characteristics using one or more trained machine learning models, calculates a price difference between each of the one or more properties after renovation and a similar property without renovation of the group of properties, and calculates cost of the one or more renovation projects. The system then calculates a return on investment (ROI) associated with each of the one or more properties.

Abstract: A system and method for generating computerized floor plans is provided. The system comprises a mobile computing device, such as a smart cellular telephone, a tablet computer, etc. having an internal digital gyroscope and camera, and an interior modeling software engine interacts with the gyroscope and camera to allow a user to quickly and conveniently take measurements of interior building features, and to create computerized floor plans of such features from any location within a space, without requiring the user to stay in a single location while taking the measurements. The system presents the user with a graphical user interface that allows a user to quickly and conveniently delineate wall corner features using a reticle displayed within the user interface. As corners are identified, the system processes the corner information and information from the gyroscope to calculate wall features and creates a floor plan of the space with high accuracy.

Abstract: Systems and methods for collaborative augmented reality measurement of an object using computing devices are provided. The system establishes an audio and video (A/V) connection between a mobile device of a first user and a remote device of a second user such that the second user can view and edit an augmented reality scene displayed on a display of the mobile device. The system receives a measurement tool selection from the first user or the second user to measure an object and/or feature present in the augmented reality scene. The system detects a plane of the augmented reality scene as a reference to position and capture points to execute a measurement of the object and/or feature. The system determines a measurement of the object and/or feature and transmits the measurement to a server.
