Abstract
In variants, the method for automatic debris detection includes: determining a region image; optionally determining a parcel representation for the region image; generating a debris representation using the region image; generating a debris score based on the debris representation; and optionally monitoring the debris score over time.
Claims20
A method for automatic debris detection comprising:
- determining a region image depicting a built structure;
- determining a parcel boundary surrounding the built structure;
- determining a foreground map based on the region image using a first model;
- calculating a built structure map for the predetermined built structure within the region image using a second model;
- identifying debris within the region image based on the parcel boundary, the foreground map, and the built structure map;
- and
- generating a debris score for the built structure based on the identified debris, wherein the debris score is generated based on depth information, wherein the depth information is used to differentiate terrain from foreground objects.
A system for automatic debris detection, comprising a computer processor configured to:
- receive a region image depicting a set of properties;
- determine a geographic region for each property of the set of properties;
- determine a foreground map based on the region image using a first model;
- determine a set of non-debris maps based on the region image using a set of second models, wherein the set of non-debris maps comprise a built structure map;
- identify debris within the region image based on the foreground map and the set of non-debris maps, comprising subtracting the built structure map from features of the foreground map falling within the geographic region;
- and
- generate debris information for each property of the set of properties based on the identified debris and the respective geographic region.
