  • Publication number: 20230377287
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for generating a photorealistic image by augmenting or compositing at least a portion of a physical structure (e.g., a house) depicted in a two-dimensional (2D) image with synthetic image data. Additionally, disclosed are techniques for augmenting the depicted physical structure and applying a scene effect to the synthetic image data to create a photorealistic effect.

  • Patent number: 11790610
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for generating a photorealistic image by augmenting or compositing at least a portion of a physical structure (e.g., a house) depicted in a two-dimensional (2D) image with synthetic image data. Additionally, disclosed are techniques for augmenting the depicted physical structure using a minimum amount of three-dimensional (3D) geometric data and applying a scene effect to the synthetic image data to create a photorealistic effect.

  • Publication number: 20200098171
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for guiding image capture of a subject by determining a location of the subject and presenting on a display graphical guides representative of perspective views of the subject to be captured. Images of the subject may then be captured and additional graphical guides are presented to the user for display for additional images to be captured. Images may be captured in a predetermined sequence of graphical guides or responsive to a user input or camera information. Captured images may be uploaded to a system for additional processing.

  • Patent number: 9934608
    Abstract: A process for graphically guiding a user of a capture device (e.g., smartphone) to more accurately and completely capture a series of ground-level images of a building. Ground-level images are captured as the picture taker moves around the building—taking a plurality (e.g., 4-16 for an entire building) of ground level images from multiple angles and/or distances. The series of captured ground level images may be uploaded to an image processing system to create a 3D building model and returned to the user or processed locally. 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 or doors.
