Patent number: 10902672Abstract: Determining the scale of building objects within collected imagery is determined by identifying architectural elements within stored building object imagery, determining dimensional ratios for the identified architectural elements, matching the identified architectural element to a known industry standard architectural element based on dimensional ratio comparisons and determining a scaling factor of the building object imagery based on relative error to the determined scale of the identified architectural elements. A three dimensional model of the building object constructed from said building object imagery may be scaled by the scaling factor, and dimensions such as measurements for its components determined.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2020Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Hover Inc.Inventors: Derek Halliday, Antonio Carlos Marques da Silva, Jr., Roberto Klein, Adam J.

Publication number: 20200404167Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2020Publication date: December 24, 2020Inventors: Manish Upendran, William Castillo, Derek Halliday

Patent number: 10861224Abstract: A system and method is provided for constructing a labeled and dimensioned multi-dimensional (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.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2017Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Hover Inc.Inventors: Derek Halliday, Antonio Carlos Marques da Silva Junior, Roberto Klein, Adam J.

Publication number: 20200020074Abstract: Improper positioning of architectural features is corrected during construction or reconstruction of a multi-dimensional (e.g., 3D) building model using known architectural dimensions and known relationships to planes (facades). The system identifies architectural elements that have known architectural standard positions relative to planes within the multi-dimensional model. Dimensional measurements of architectural elements in the multi-dimensional model are used to properly position one or more architectural elements relative to associated planes within the multi-dimensional building model. For example, a window position on a 3D building model first façade is moved inward (offset) according to the known relationship of a window (architectural element) being inset relative to a façade (e.g., exterior wall). In addition, a window frame could be repositioned outwardly relative to the same façade plane based on a known relationship of a frame being located on an external surface of the façade (e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2019Publication date: January 16, 2020Applicant: HOVER INC.Inventors: Manish Upendran, Adam J.

Patent number: 10178303Abstract: A process is provided for guiding a capture device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, drone, etc.) to capture a series of images of a building. Images are captured as the camera device moves around the building—taking a plurality of images (e.g., video) from multiple angles and distances. Quality of the image may be determined to prevent low quality images from being captured or to provide instructions on how to improve the quality of the image capture. The series of captured images are uploaded to an image processing system to generate a 3D building model that is returned to the user. The returned 3D building model may incorporate scaled measurements of building architectural elements and may include a dataset of measurements for one or more architectural elements such as siding (e.g., aluminum, vinyl, wood, brick and/or paint), windows, doors or roofing.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: HOVER INC.Inventors: William Castillo, Derek Halliday, Manish Upendran
