Abstract
A computer system generates an outline of a roof of a structure based on a set of lateral images depicting the structure. For each image in the set of lateral images, one or more rooflines corresponding to the roof of the structure are determined. The computer system determines how the rooflines connect to one another. Based on the determination, the rooflines are connected to generate an outline of the roof.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining a plurality of segments depicted in a plurality of photos of a structure, wherein each photo of the plurality of photos depicts one or more walls of the structure;
- projecting the plurality of segments onto a two-dimensional (2D) plane reflecting a top-down view of the structure;
- and
- generating digital data representing a 2D outline of a shape of a roof outline, the digital data being generated via connecting the segments projected onto the two-dimensional (2D) plane to form the 2D outline.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a system comprising one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- determining a plurality of segments depicted in a plurality of photos of a structure, wherein each photo of the plurality of photos depicts one or more walls of the structure;
- projecting the plurality of segments onto a two-dimensional (2D) plane reflecting a top-down view of the structure;
- and
- generating digital data representing a 2D outline of a shape of a roof outline, the digital data being generated via connecting the segments projected onto the two-dimensional (2D) plane to form the 2D outline.
