A computer-implemented system and method for roof modeling and asset management

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide a computer-implemented system and method for generating a three-dimensional rooftop model. In some embodiments, the system and method can process stereo aerial images to generate a stereoscopic image, and generate a point-cloud field from at least a portion of the stereoscopic image. Some embodiments of the computer-implemented system and method can generate three-dimensional rooftop models using polylines and polygons derived from the point-cloud field. In some embodiments, a rooftop solar energy potential can be determined using a rooftop area calculated using the system and method. In some further embodiments, a rainwater run-off potential can be calculated using a measured rooftop area calculated using the computer-implemented system and method. In some embodiments, the system and method can display at least one building including at least one rooftop including one or more rooftop portions including a display of a solar potential and/or a rainwater runoff potential.
