  • Publication number: 20190385363
    Abstract: A system for modeling a roof of a structure comprising a first database, a second database and a processor in communication with the first database and the second database. The processor selects one or more images and the respective metadata thereof from the first database based on a received a geospatial region of interest. The processor generates two-dimensional line segment geometries in pixel space based on two-dimensional outputs generated by a neural network in pixel space of at least one roof structure present in the selected one or more images. The processor classifies the generated two-dimensional line segment geometries into at least one contour graph based on three-dimensional data received from the second database and generates a three-dimensional representation of the at least one roof structure based on the at least one contour graph and the received three-dimensional data.

  • Publication number: 20190188516
    Abstract: Systems and methods for property feature detection and extraction using digital images. The image sources could include aerial imagery, satellite imagery, ground-based imagery, imagery taken from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), mobile device imagery, etc. The detected geometric property features could include tree canopy, pools and other bodies of water, concrete flatwork, landscaping classifications (gravel, grass, concrete, asphalt, etc.), trampolines, property structural features (structures, buildings, pergolas, gazebos, terraces, retaining walls, and fences), and sports courts. The system can automatically extract these features from images and can then project them into world coordinates relative to a known surface in world coordinates (e.g., from a digital terrain model).

  • Publication number: 20190102897
    Abstract: A computer vision system and method for detecting and modeling features of a building in a plurality of images is provided. The system includes at least one computer system in communication with a database of aerial imagery, and computer vision system code executed by the at last one computer system which automatically detects contours and infers interior roof features of the building. The system first processes the plurality of images to identify a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) line segments in each image. Then, the system processes the plurality of 2D line segments to generate a plurality of three-dimensional (3D) line segments. The plurality of 2D line segments are then processed to detect a contour of the structure, and the contour of the structure is utilized by the system to infer interior roof lines from the structure. A model of the roof of the structure is finally generated using the detected contour and interior roof lines.
