Automated system and methodology for feature extraction
First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory computer readable medium storing a set of computer executable instructions for running on one or more computer systems that when executed cause the one or more computer systems to:
- classify at least one feature within an image as a man-made structure, wherein the man-made structure is a building having a roof, wherein classification of the feature as a man-made structure includes;
analyzing data points within a point cloud indicative of a man-made structure, a natural structure, and a ground structure to automatically classify certain of the data points within the point cloud representing the man-made structure as the man-made structure;
determining first information about the man-made structure by analyzing the data points classified as the man-made structure;
correlating the data points within the point cloud classified as the man-made structure with one or more images;
spectrally analyze image raster content of at least one section of the one or more images correlated with the data points within the point cloud that are classified as the man-made structure to generate second information in which the second information is an update of the first information; and
determine an estimated roof pitch by analyzing the one or more images.

Abstract
An automated method performed by at least one processor running computer executable instructions stored on at least one non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising: classifying first data points identifying at least one man-made roof structure within a point cloud and classifying second data points associated with at least one of natural structures and ground surface to form a modified point cloud; identifying at least one feature of the man-made roof structure in the modified point cloud; and generating a roof report including the at least one feature.

-
classify at least one feature within an image as a man-made structure, wherein classification of the feature as a man-made structure includes; analyzing data points within a point cloud indicative of a man-made structure, a natural structure, and a ground structure to automatically classify certain of the data points within the point cloud representing the man-made structure as the man-made structure, wherein the data points having a Z value above a first elevation are classified as at least one of the man-made structure and the natural structure; determining first information about the man-made structure by analyzing the data points classified as the man-made structure, wherein the first information includes an outline of the man-made structure; correlating the data points within the point cloud classified as the man-made structure with one or more images; and spectrally analyze image raster content of at least one section of the one or more images correlated with the data points within the point cloud that are classified as the man-made structure to generate second information in which the second information is an update of the first information. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
