  • Publication number: 20260141637
    Abstract: A system and method for generating models from digital images in an interactive environment comprising a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor captures or derives metadata for one or more digital images. The processor derives transforms from the metadata to align the digital images with one or more three-dimensional (“3D”) models of objects/structures represented in the digital image. The processor generates an interactive environment which allows a user to view a contextual model of each of the objects/structures in two dimensional (“2D”) and 3D views.

  • Publication number: 20260099884
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting, extracting, and categorizing structure data from aerial imagery following a major weather event are provided. The system processes digital images and weather data to automatically detect, extract, and categorize structure data following a major weather event. After receiving an indication of a region of interest (“ROI”) from a user, the system retrieves weather mapping data for the ROI and retrieves information related to attributes of structures within the ROI from a machine learning subsystem. The system then cross-references the property data, the weather data, and the structure attributes and assigns a risk rating to the structures within the ROI. Finally, the system generates and delivers a data package to the user.

  • Publication number: 20250284855
    Abstract: Systems and methods for rapidly developing annotated computer models of structures and properties is provided. The system generates three-dimensional (3D) models of structures and property using a wide variety of digital imagery, and/or can process existing 3D models created by other systems. The system processes the 3D models to automatically identify candidate objects within the 3D models that may be suitable for annotation, such as roof faces, chimneys, windows, gutters, etc., using computer vision techniques to automatically identify such objects. Once the candidate objects have been identified, the system automatically generates user interface screens which gather relevant information related to the candidate objects, so as to rapidly obtain, associate, and store annotation information related to the candidate objects.

  • Publication number: 20240397949
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are disclosed. The compositions can be electrostatically charged, can be attractive for translocation by the social insects into nesting, tunneling, and/or gathering structures of the social insects, or both. Kits comprising the compositions and a powder delivery device operable to electrostatically charge a pest control composition during delivery are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7854042
    Abstract: A reusable bundling device for wrapping and securing bundles of cable, rope, hose, electrical cords and other elongated members. The bundling device includes a flexible strap having one surface covered with hook members and an opposed second surface covered with a plurality of loop members. The hook members are releasably engagable with the loop members to encircle and retain the bundle. The first end of the flexible strap is removably attachable to a portion of the cord. Further, the bundling device is color coded to facilitate the identification of useful information pertaining to the cord and to rematch the strap once removed from the cord.
