  • Publication number: 20180089797
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for identifying scale, scale error, or improper positioning during construction or reconstruction of a multi-dimensional (e.g., 3D) building model using known architectural dimensions. 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 (poorly scaled) are compared with known architectural standard dimensions, with or without scale error, to properly scale, rescale or position one or more planes within the multi-dimensional building model.

  • Patent number: 9830681
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for identifying scale, scale error, or improper positioning during construction or reconstruction of a multi-dimensional (e.g., 3D) building model using known architectural dimensions. The system identifies architectural elements that have known architectural standard dimensions. Dimensional measurements (or dimensional ratios) of architectural elements in the multi-dimensional model (poorly scaled) are compared with known architectural standard dimensions, with or without scale error, to properly scale, rescale or position one or more planes within the multi-dimensional building model.

  • Publication number: 20170208245
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20170132835
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9307412
    Abstract: A method for evaluating security during an interactive service operation by a mobile communications device includes launching, by a mobile communications device, an interactive service configured to access a server over a network during an interactive service operation, and generating a security evaluation based on a plurality of trust factors related to a current state of the mobile communications device, to a security feature of the application, and/or to a security feature of the network. When the security evaluation is generated, an action is performed based on the security evaluation.
