  • Publication number: 20230351742
    Abstract: Methods and systems for improved generation and georeferencing of floor plans are presented. In one embodiment, a method is presented that includes receiving images that depict sheets of a blueprint of a structure. Subsets of the images depicting floor sheets and elevation sheets may be identified. Exterior contours may be extracted from the images depicting floor sheets and elevation contours may be extracted from the images depicting elevation sheets. A corresponding structure within a three-dimensional map may be identified based on the exterior contours and the elevation contours. A three-dimensional contour of the exterior of the structure may be extracted from the three-dimensional map.

  • Publication number: 20230195971
    Abstract: Methods and systems for improved prediction and generation of structure interiors are provided. In one embodiment a method is provided that includes receiving exterior imagery of the structure and determining an exterior surface of the structure with a machine learning model. The exterior surface may enclose exterior portions of the structure. The machine learning model may further determine exterior features of the structure and may determine, based on the exterior surface of the exterior features, an interior model of the structure. A three-dimensional representation of interior and exterior portions of structure may be generated based on the exterior surface and the interior model.

  • Publication number: 20230098595
    Abstract: Methods and systems for improved generation of vector versions of plans for structures are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving a document that depicts a sheet of a blueprint of a structure. A first machine learning model may be used to identify a portion of the document that contains a plan of the structure. A second machine learning model may be used to determine a type of the plan depicted. A third machine learning model may be used to determine, based on the contents of the portion of the documents locations and labels for individual elements within the plan. A vector version of the floor plan may be generated based on the locations and labels.

  • Patent number: 11069132
    Abstract: A system may include a building scanning device configured to scan a target building and generate scanned building data based thereon. The system may also include a processor and a communication interface coupled thereto. The processor may be configured to cooperate with the communication interface to obtain stored building data for the target building from a remote stored data source and cooperate with the building scanning device to obtain the scanned building data. The processor may also be configured to generate virtual building plan data based upon the stored building data and the scanned building data and drive at least one display based upon the virtual building plan data.

  • Patent number: 10885597
    Abstract: Described are methods and systems for retrieving and serving the regulatory history of a property. For example, an identification of data sources for permits and approvals is stored in a computer system. Property identifiers from the data sources are stored in the computer system. The system identifies the types of permit and approval data available from each of the data sources for each of the property identifiers. A determination can be made of the completeness of the regulatory history available for each property associated with each of said property identifiers. The system receives a request for the regulatory history of at least one of the properties associated with the property identifiers. A web page may be populated with a list of the regulatory history for the property.

  • Patent number: 10068026
    Abstract: A mobile wireless device controller may, based upon an input device, communicate with first remote computers to store the land use based regulatory history data, and search for a real property to determine which of the first remote computers has land use based regulatory history data available for the real property. The controller may also retrieve land use based regulatory history data from a second remote computer different than the first remote computers, when the land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property does not exceed a threshold amount or when one of the first remote computers is not from a predetermined one thereof. The land use based regulatory history data for the real property may be provided to a user interface when the threshold amount is exceeded or when the first remote computers includes the predetermined one.
