SYSTEM FOR FLOOR NUMBER DETERMINATION IN BUILDINGS
First Claim
1. A method for determining a number of floors of a building based on image data of the building, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining by a processing unit a background color of a faç
ade of the building shown in the image data;
detecting by the processing unit predefined deviations from the background color in the faç
ade of the building;
determining by the processing unit a mean number of predefined deviations in a vertical direction of the faç
ade of the building based on the detected predefined deviations; and
deducing by the processing unit the number of floors of the building based on the determined mean number of predefined deviations, wherein the number of floors corresponds to the determined mean number.

Abstract
A system may determine a number of floors of a building based on image data of the building. The system may determine a background color of a façade of the building shown in the image data. Using this background color, predefined deviations may then be detected that form the background color in the façade of the building. A mean number of predefined deviations in the vertical direction of the façade of the building may be determined, and the number of floors of the building based on the determined mean number of predefined deviations can be then be deduced.
