System and process for roof measurement using aerial imagery
First Claim
1. A process, comprising:
- providing at least one computer input field for a user to input first location data generally corresponding to a geographic location of a building;
receive first location data;
providing visual access to a first aerial image of a region corresponding to the first location data, the first aerial image having a first resolution and including a roof structure of the building;
providing a first computer input capable of signaling a designation from the user of a building roof structure location within the first aerial image, wherein the building roof structure location is a geographic position of the building roof structure and is different than the first location data;
receive the designation of the building roof structure;
responsive to receiving the designation of the building roof structure location, providing a second computer input capable of signaling user-acceptance of the building roof structure location within the first aerial image, wherein user-acceptance is one or more affirmative steps undertaken by the user to confirm the designation of the building roof structure location; and
responsive to receiving the user-acceptance confirming the designation of the building roof structure location, providing visual access to one or more second aerial images of an aerial imagery database corresponding to geographic location coordinates of the building roof structure location, the one or more second aerial images having a second resolution that is higher resolution than the first resolution.

Abstract
Processes and systems including providing at least one computer input field for a user to input location data generally corresponding to the location of the building; providing visual access to a first aerial image of a region including a roof structure of a building corresponding to said location data, the first aerial image having a first resolution; providing a computer input capable of signaling user-acceptance of a final location within the aerial image; and providing visual access to one or more second aerial images of an aerial imagery database corresponding to location coordinates of the final location, the one or more second aerial images having a second resolution that is higher resolution than the first resolution.

16. A non-transitory computer memory storing computer logic, that when executed by computer hardware causes the computer hardware to:
-
provide at least one computer input field for a user to input first location data generally corresponding to a geographic location of a building; receive first location data; provide visual access to a first aerial image of a region corresponding to the first location data, the first aerial image having a first resolution and including a roof structure of the building; provide a first computer input capable of signaling a designation from the user of a building roof structure location within the first aerial image, wherein the building roof structure location is a geographic position of the building roof structure and is different than the first location data; receive the designation of the building roof structure location; responsive to receiving the designation of the building roof structure location, provide a second computer input capable of signaling user-acceptance of the building roof structure location within the first aerial image, wherein user-acceptance is one or more affirmative steps undertaken by the user to confirm the designation of the building roof structure location; and responsive to receiving the user-acceptance confirming the designation of the building roof structure location, provide visual access to one or more second aerial images of an aerial imagery database corresponding to geographic location coordinates of the building roof structure location, the one or more second aerial images having a second resolution that is higher resolution than the first resolution. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method, comprising:
-
inputting, by a user, in at least one computer input field, first location data generally corresponding to a geographic location of a building; receiving, by the user, visual access to a first aerial image of a region corresponding to the first location data, the first aerial image having a first resolution and including a roof structure of the building; signaling, by the user, a designation from the user of a building roof structure location within the first aerial image, wherein the building roof structure location is a geographic position of the building roof structure and is different than the first location data; signaling, by the user, user-acceptance of the building roof structure location within the first aerial image, wherein user-acceptance is one or more affirmative steps undertaken by the user to confirm the designation of the building roof structure location; and responsive to signaling the user-acceptance confirming the designation of the building roof structure location, receiving visual access to one or more second aerial images of an aerial imagery database corresponding to geographic location coordinates of the building roof structure location, the one or more second aerial images having a second resolution that is higher resolution than the first resolution; and repairing or constructing a roof designated by the building roof structure location. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
