Publication number: 20260067564Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for enhancing two-dimensional (2D) image capture of subjects (e.g., a physical structure, such as a residential building) to maximize the feature correspondences available for three-dimensional (3D) model reconstruction. More specifically, disclosed is a computer-vision network configured to provide viewfinder interfaces and analyses to guide the improved capture of an intended subject for specified purposes. Additionally, the computer-vision network can be configured to generate a metric representing a quality of feature correspondences between images of a complete set of images used for reconstructing a 3D model of a physical structure. The computer-vision network can also be configured to generate feedback at or before image capture time to guide improvements to the quality of feature correspondences between a pair of images.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2025Publication date: March 5, 2026Applicant: Hover Inc.Inventors: William Castillo, Brandon Scott, Alrik Firl, David Royston Cutts, Jonathan Mark Igner, Dario Rethage, Domenico Curro, Giridhar Murali, Panfeng Li

Publication number: 20250166300Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for pitch determination. An example method includes obtaining an image depicting a structure, the image being captured via a user device positioned proximate to the structure. The image is segmented to identify, at least, a roof facet of the structure. An eave vector and a rake vector which are associated with the roof facet are determined. A normal vector of the roof facet is calculated based on the eave vector and the rake vector, and compared to a vector indicating a vertical direction such as gravity. The angle made out by the normal and a gravity vector may be utilized to calculate the pitch of the roof facet.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2025Publication date: May 22, 2025Inventors: William Castillo, Giridhar Murali, Brandon Scott, Kai Jia, Jeffrey Sommers, Dario Rethage

The third sensor is configured to measure a recoil of the compressions. The system also includes a computing system configured to receive data from the first, second, and third sensors. The computing system is also configured to compare the received data to stored data in a library that corresponds to the received data. The computing system is also configured to generate one or more outputs in response to the comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2022Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Keith KLEINMAN, Therese L.
