Concurrent display systems and methods for aerial roof estimation
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for generating a roof estimate report, the method comprising:
- displaying 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;
receiving an indication of a feature of the building shown in the first aerial image;
modifying a three-dimensional model of the roof based on the received indication of the feature of the building; and
displaying a projection of the feature from the modified three-dimensional model onto the first and second aerial images as a line drawing of the feature, each overlaid on corresponding locations of the feature on the first and second aerial images.

Abstract
User interface systems and methods for roof estimation are described. Example embodiments include a roof estimation system that provides a user interface configured to facilitate roof model generation based on one or more aerial images of a building roof. In one embodiment, roof model generation includes image registration, image lean correction, roof section pitch determination, wire frame model construction, and/or roof model review. The described user interface provides user interface controls that may be manipulated by an operator to perform at least some of the functions of roof model generation. The user interface is further configured to concurrently display roof features onto multiple images of a roof. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and it is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

12. A computing system for generating a roof estimate report, the computing system comprising:
-
a memory; a roof estimation module that is stored on the memory and that is configured, when executed, to; display 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; receive an indication of a feature of the building shown in the first aerial image; modify a three-dimensional model of the roof based on the received indication of the feature of the building; display a projection of the feature from the modified three-dimensional model onto the first and second aerial images as a line drawing of the feature, each overlaid on corresponding locations of the feature on the first and second aerial images; transmit roof measurement information based at least in part on the modified three-dimensional model. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. 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 an indication of a feature of the building shown in a first aerial image that provides a first view of the roof of the building; modifying a three-dimensional model of the roof based on the received indication of the feature of the building; and in response to the receiving of the indication of the feature of the building, displaying a projection of the feature from the modified three-dimensional model onto a second aerial image that provides a second view of the roof of the building as a line drawing of the feature, each overlaid on corresponding locations of the feature on the first and second aerial images. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
