  • Patent number: 12361641
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for constructing a labeled and dimensioned multidimensional (e.g., 3D) building model from building object imagery (e.g., ground-level imagery). The method begins by retrieve building object imagery, the building object imagery collected based on directed capture with a mobile device. The method continues by constructing a scaled multi-dimensional building model, the scale based on sizing of at least one selected architectural feature. The method continues by identifying architectural elements within facades of the multi-dimensional building model. The method continues by determining dimensions of at least one of the architectural elements, the dimensions based on the scale. The method continues by determining dimensions (e.g., area) of at least one of the architectural elements. The method continues by labeling each identified architectural element with at least an identifier and by labeling at least one of the architectural elements with the determined dimensions.

  • Publication number: 20250148710
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and method for determining information related to building materials based on determined measurements from a multi-dimensional building model comprising features and elements embodying such materials and measurements. The multi-dimensional model may be based on a plurality of received images, such as ground-based images of a building. The multi-dimensional model may be scaled, or a scale extracted based on data of the model. The multi-dimensional model may comprise architectural elements, and the scale used to determine measurements of such architectural elements. With the scaled measurements of the architectural elements in the model, product information related to multi-dimensional model and its elements may be derived and combined in alternative means.

  • Publication number: 20250142203
    Abstract: An image capture system provides automated prompts for aiding a user in capturing images for use in 3D model creation. While a user is preparing to capture an image, the system provides visual indications that indicate whether a quality-based condition is satisfied. Based on the visual indications, a user can determine whether an image, if captured, would likely be suitable for use in creating a 3D model. Determining if the quality-based condition is satisfied may include monitoring output generated by one or more sensors and comparing the output against a threshold value. Additionally, the system may analyze the visual content or metadata associated with an image to determine if the quality-based condition is satisfied and request user input to further identify certain image features that were identified by the system.

  • Publication number: 20250086890
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and method for automatic building material ordering based on determined measurements from a multi-dimensional building model. The multi-dimensional model may be based on a plurality of received images, such as ground-based images of a building. The multi-dimensional model may be scaled, or a scale extracted based on data of the model. The multi-dimensional model may comprise architectural elements, and the scale used to determine measurements of such architectural elements. With the scaled measurements of the architectural elements in the model, product information related to multi-dimensional model may be processed, such as confirming availability of the sizes and quantities associated with the architectural elements. Ordering manufacturer products may based on the processed information.
