VIRTUALIZED SITE SURVEY SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CELL SITES
First Claim
1. A virtual site survey method at a cell site utilizing three-dimensional (3D) models for remote performance, the virtual site survey comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of photographs of a cell site comprising one or more of a cell tower and one or more buildings and interiors thereof;
subsequent to the obtaining, processing the plurality of photographs to define a three dimensional (3D) model of the cell site based on one or more objects of interest in the plurality of photographs; and
remotely performing a site survey of the cell site utilizing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) of the 3D model to collect and obtain information about the cell site, the cell tower, the one or more buildings, and the interiors thereof.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform the steps of:
-
receiving a plurality of photographs of a cell site comprising one or more of a cell tower and one or more buildings and interiors thereof; processing the plurality of photographs to define a three dimensional (3D) model of the cell site based on one or more objects of interest in the plurality of photographs, subsequent to receiving the photographs; and rendering a Graphical User Interface of the 3D model for remote performance of a site survey of the cell site utilizing the 3D model to collect and obtain information about the cell site, the cell tower, the one or more buildings, and the interiors thereof.
