Determining transceiver height

An electronic device, comprising:

• an imaging sensor configured to acquire an image;
• an interface circuit configured to communicate with other electronic devices;
• a display configured to display information;
• a processor coupled to the imaging sensor, the interface circuit, the display and memory;
• and
• the memory configured to store a program module, wherein, when executed by the processor, the program module causes the electronic device to:
• acquire, using the imaging sensor, an image of a surface of a structure;
• display, on the display, the image;
• receive user-input information that specifies a first line and a second line on the surface of the structure, wherein the first line and the second line are vertically offset from each other;
• receive second user-input information that specifies an approximate vertical location on an exterior of the structure of a transceiver in the structure;
• provide, to an output node of the electronic device, a query for a second image of the structure;
• receive, from an input node of the electronic device, the second image, wherein the second image includes a view of the structure from a position above the structure;
• display, on the display, the second image;
• receive third user-input information that specifies at least one of the first line and the second line on the surface in the second image;
• provide, to the output node and based on the third user-input information, information that specifies at least locations of end points of at least one of the first line and the second line;
• receive, from the input node, a distance between the end points;
• provide, to the output node, the distance, the approximate vertical location and a geometry of the first line and a second line;
• and
• receiving, from the input node, the determined height of the transceiver.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for use in conjunction with an electronic device, the computer-readable storage medium storing a program module that, when executed by the electronic device, causes the electronic device to determine a height of a transceiver in a structure by performing at least the operations of:

• acquiring an image of a surface of the structure;
• displaying the image;
• receiving user-input information that specifies a first line and a second line on the surface of the structure, wherein the first line and the second line are vertically offset from each other;
• receiving second user-input information that specifies an approximate vertical location on an exterior of the structure of the transceiver in the structure;
• providing, to an output node of the electronic device, a query for a second image of the structure;
• receiving, from an input node of the electronic device, the second image, wherein the second image includes a view of the structure from a position above the structure;
• displaying the second image;
• receiving third user-input information that specifies at least one of the first line and the second line on the surface in the second image;
• providing, to the output node and based on the third user-input information, information that specifies at least locations of end points of at least one of the first line and the second line;
• receiving, from the input node, a distance between the end points;
• providing, to the output node, the distance, the approximate vertical location and a geometry of the first line and a second line;
• and
• receiving, from the input node, the determined height of the transceiver.
