Systems and methods for elevation analysis

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• receive input indicating a geographic area including a structure and a line segment within the geographic area, the line segment representing a first portion of the geographic area;
• identify a structure located within the geographic area;
• generate a geo-database representing the geographic area and the line segment based on the identified structure, the line segment, and the geographic area;
• receive an indication of elevation data based on the geographic area and the identified structure;
• adjust the geo-database based on the elevation data, wherein adjusting the geo-database includes converting the line segment to a series of two or more points;
• for each respective point of the two or more points:
• identify a point adjacent on the line segment to the respective point;
• and
• determine a slope of the geographic area between the point and the respective point based on the elevation data;
• determine a total slope of the first portion of the geographic area represented by the line segment relative to the structure based on the slope determined for each point of the two or more points;
• and
• generate a data record indicating the total slope of the first portion of the geographic area relative to the structure.

One or more storage devices collectively storing an elevation data structure, the data structure comprising:

• information specifying a geographic area including a structure;
• information specifying a line segment within the geographic area, the line segment representing a first portion of the geographic area;
• information specifying elevation data;
• information specifying two or more points on the line segment;
• and
• information specifying a total slope of a first portion of the geographic area, such that the information specifying the geographic area and the information specifying the line segment are usable to generate a geo-database representing the geographic area and the line segment based on the structure included in the geographic area,
• the geo-database is adjusted based on the information specifying the elevation data, wherein adjusting the geo-database includes converting the line segment to a series of two or more points, and
• that the total slope is determined based on a plurality of slopes of the first portion of the geographic area, each of the plurality of slopes indicating a slope between a first point of the two or more points and a second point of the two or more points that is adjacent to the first point.
