  • Patent number: 10062124
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for computer-based construction estimation. An electronic image is obtained wherein a placard is shown in the electronic image. A scaling factor is determined using the a priori known geometry of the placard. One or more measurements may be calculated of a structure in the electronic image using the calculated scaling factor. A system is described for implementing the method.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 5, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2018
    Inventors: Michael D. Meadows, Gregory D. Farnell, Christopher P. Farnell, Michael J. Leonard
  • Patent number: 9081790
    Abstract: An electronic data storage and transmission system. A plurality of electronic data objects may be associated to a plurality of electronic data indicators, and the associations may be combined. Contextual awareness of a second location may allow generation of streamlined electronic data objects. Electronic spatial data objects may be automatically contiguously combined and compression may be leveraged with combination efficiencies. Combinations of electronic data objects may be threshold limited. Transmission of electronic data may achieve effective compression and effective transmission rates exceeding a benchmark network transmission rate of an electronic data communications network.
    Type: Grant
