System for automatic structure footprint detection from oblique imagery

A method, comprising the step of:

• making a set of instructions on a computer readable medium accessible to a processor of a computer system, the set of instructions including instructions for:
• identifying edges of a structure by analyzing one or more electronic file stored in one or more non-transitory memory, the electronic file being indicative of at least one geo-referenced oblique image;
• determining three-dimensional information of the edges including position, orientation and relative lengths of the edges using multiple oblique images from multiple cardinal directions;
• and
• determining, automatically, at least one line segment of a portion of a footprint of the structure utilizing at least one of the relative position and orientation of the edges.

A method, comprising the step of:

• selling and distributing a set of instructions stored on at least one computer readable medium for:
• identifying edges of a structure by analyzing one or more electronic file stored in one or more non-transitory memory, the electronic file being indicative of at least one geo-referenced oblique image;
• determining three-dimensional information of the edges including position, orientation and relative length of the edges using multiple oblique images from multiple cardinal directions;
• and
• determining, automatically, at least one line segment of a portion of a footprint of the structure utilizing at least one of the relative position and orientation of the edges.

A method comprising the step of:

• providing access to a set of instructions stored on a first computer readable medium for installation on a second computer readable medium associated with a user device, the set of instructions including instructions for:
• identifying edges of a structure by analyzing one or more electronic file stored in one or more non-transitory memory, the electronic file being indicative of at least one geo-referenced oblique image;
• determining three-dimensional information of the edges including position, orientation and relative length of the edges using multiple oblique images from multiple cardinal directions;
• and
• determining, automatically, at least one line segment of a portion of a footprint of the structure utilizing at least one of the relative position and orientation of the edges.

A computer system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• one or more computer readable medium storing a set of instructions that when executed by the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:
• identify edges of a structure displayed within one or more geo-referenced images by analyzing one or more electronic file stored in one or more non-transitory memory, the electronic file being indicative of the one or more geo-referenced images;
• determine three-dimensional information of the edges including position, orientation and relative length of the edges utilizing the one or more geo-referenced images;
• and
• determine, automatically, at least one line segment of a portion of a footprint of the structure utilizing at least one of the relative position and orientation of the edges.
