Roof report generation

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for generating roof reports. In one embodiment, a user begins by entering an address into an application and clicking a "request" button. A 3D model of the structure at the address is prepared. The application may then proceed with manual or automatic roof extraction. For manual roof extraction, an analyst may outline roof facets to create a roof model. For automatic roof extraction, the application may use machine learning or another technique to automatically extract and then simplify roof facets. In either case, the application may then present the roof model to a reviewer for inspection. The reviewer may then accept or reject the roof model. If the reviewer rejects the roof model, an analyst may correct the roof model and resuming it for review. Once the roof model passes a review, the application may then proceed with converting the roof model into a roof report.
