Aerial roof estimation systems and methods

A computer-implemented method for generating a roof estimate, the method comprising:

• receiving a first and a second aerial image of a building having a roof, each of the aerial images providing a different view of the roof of the building;
• correlating the first aerial image with the second aerial image;
• generating, based at least in part on the correlation between the first and second aerial images, a three-dimensional model of the roof that includes a plurality of planar roof sections that each have a corresponding slope, area, and edges;
• and
• transmitting a roof estimate report that includes one or more top plan views of the three-dimensional model annotated with numerical indications of at least one of the slope, area, and lengths of the edges of the plurality of planar roof sections, wherein the roof estimate report includes at least two different indicia for different types of roof properties.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium whose contents enable a computing system to generate a roof estimate report for a building having a roof, by performing a method comprising:

• receiving one or more images of the building;
• generating, based on the one or more images of the building, a model of the roof that includes a plurality of planar roof sections that each have a corresponding area and edges;
• and
• transmitting a roof estimate report that includes one or more views of the model, the report being annotated with numerical indications of the area and lengths of the edges of at least some of the plurality of planar roof sections, wherein the roof estimate report includes at least two different indicia for different types of roof properties.
