US Patent:

8515125, Aug 20, 2013

Filed:

Jan 25, 2013

Appl. No.:

13/750449

Inventors:

Dale R. Thornberry - Carmel IN, US
Mark F. Garringer - Eaton IN, US

Assignee:

Pictometry International Corp. - Rochester NY

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382100

Abstract:

The present disclosure shows creating a first layer and a second layer, in computer memory and substantially overlapping at least a segment of line from said first layer with at least a segment of another line from said second layer. A first non-dimensional attribute is different from said second non-dimensional attribute of the two lines. A user length field enabling a client with said interactive file to override at least one of said length numeric values, where said area operator may automatically recalculate area based on said length field override is shown. Also, providing a visual marker that is moveable on said computer monitor around said aerial imagery region, which may be moved, to more precisely identify the location of the building roof structure is shown.

Assignee:

Pictometry International Corp. - Rochester NY

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382103

Abstract:

Processes and systems are disclosed for determining attributes of a roof structure of real-world three-dimensional building(s), including providing computer input field(s) for a user to input location data generally corresponding to the location of the building, providing visual access to a nadir image of a region including the roof structure of the building; on the nadir image of the region, providing a visual marker that is moveable on the computer monitor around the region, the visual marker initially corresponding to the location data but which may be moved to a final location, having location coordinates, on top of the building to more precisely identify the location of the building roof structure; providing a computer input capable of signaling user-acceptance of the final location of the marker; and, providing visual access to one or more oblique images of an aerial imagery database corresponding to location coordinates of the final location.

Abstract:

The present disclosure describes systems and processes, including a computer process, comprising: determining, with one or more computer processors, attributes of a roof of a real-world three-dimensional building by: creating, with the one or more computer processors, a first electronic line drawing of a first plane of a roof of a building in a first drawing layer overlaid on an image depicting the roof of the building; creating, with the one or more computer processors, a second electronic line drawing of a second plane of the roof of the building in a second drawing layer on the image depicting the roof of the building, the first electronic line drawing and the second electronic line drawing having one or more overlapping lines; and assigning, with the one or more computer processors, one or more non-dimensional attributes to the overlapping lines, the non-dimensional attributes identifying one or more types of roof structures.

G06K 9/00
G06F 3/0481

Abstract:

The present disclosure describes systems and processes, including processes in which first location data is received. Visual access to a first image corresponding to the first location data is provided, the first image including a roof structure of a building. A first computer input capable of signaling a designation from the user of a building roof structure location within the first image is provided. A designation of the building roof structure location within the first image is received. Responsive to receiving the designation of the building roof structure location, a second computer input capable of signaling user-acceptance of the building roof structure location within the first image is provided. Subsequent to receiving the user-acceptance confirming the designation of the building roof structure location, a report of the roof structure is provided.
