Patent number: 12159527Abstract: A method includes accessing a first dataset including aerial imagery data and infrared data, accessing a second dataset including property boundary data, and identifying property boundaries associated with a geographic area. A plurality of models is applied to the datasets to identify and compute information of interest. Based on the first dataset and constrained by the property boundaries, a building detection model can be applied to identify a building, and a vegetation detection model can be applied to identify one or more areas of vegetation. An estimated distance can be determined between each of the areas of vegetation and the building as separation data, which can be compared to a defensible space guideline to determine a defensible space adherence score. A wildfire risk map can be generated, including the defensible space adherence score associated with the geographic area.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2023Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: THE TRAVELERS INDEMNITY COMPANYInventors: Hoa Ton-That, James Dykstra, John Han, Stefanie M. Walker, Joseph Amuso, George Lee, Kyle J. Kelsey

Patent number: 11288953Abstract: A method includes accessing a first dataset including aerial imagery data, accessing a second dataset including property boundary data, and identifying property boundaries associated with a geographic area. A plurality of artificial-intelligence (AI) models are applied to the datasets to identify and compute information of interest. Based on the first dataset and constrained by the property boundaries, a building detection model can be applied to identify a building footprint, and a tree detection model can be applied to identify one or more trees. An estimated distance can be determined between each of the trees and a nearest portion of the building footprint as separation data, which can be compared to a defensible space guideline to determine a defensible space adherence score. A wildfire risk map can be generated, including the defensible space adherence score associated with the geographic area.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2021Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: THE TRAVELERS INDEMNITY COMPANYInventors: Hoa Ton-That, James Dykstra, John Han, Stefanie M.
