Systems and methods for automated detection of changes in extent of structures using imagery are disclosed, including a non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable code that when executed by a processor cause the processor to: align an outline of a structure at a first instance of time to pixels within an image depicting the structure, the image captured at a second instance of time; assess a degree of alignment between the outline and the pixels within the image depicting the structure, using a machine learning model to generate an alignment confidence score; determine an existence of a change in extent of the structure based upon the alignment confidence score indicating that the outline and the pixels within the image are not aligned; identify a shape of the change in extent of the structure; and store the shape of the change in extent of the structure.

Systems and methods for automated detection of changes in extent of structures using imagery

Methods and systems are disclosed that automatically determine solar access values. In one implementation, a 3D geo-referenced model of a structure is retrieved in which geographic location on the earth of points in the 3D geo-referenced model are stored or associated with points in the 3D geo-referenced model. Object point cloud data indicative of object(s) that cast shade on the structure is retrieved. The object point cloud data may be generated from one or more georeferenced images and the object point cloud data is indicative of an actual size, shape, and location of the object(s) on the earth. The structure in the 3D geo-referenced model is divided into one or more sections, which are divided into one or more areas, each area having at least three vertices. Then, a solar access value for the particular vertex is determined.

Systems and methods are disclosed, including a non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to identify a first image, a second image, and a third image, the first image overlapping the second image and the third image, the second image overlapping the third image; determine a first connectivity between the first image and the second image; determine a second connectivity between the first image and the third image; determine a third connectivity between the second image and the third image, the second connectivity being less than the first connectivity, the third connectivity being greater than the second connectivity; assign the first image, the second image, and the third image to a cluster based on the first connectivity and the third connectivity; conduct a bundle adjustment process on the cluster of the first image, the second image, and the third image.

Systems and methods for automated detection of changes in extent of structures using imagery are disclosed, including a non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable code that when executed by a processor cause the processor to: align, with an image classifier model, an outline of a structure at a first instance of time to pixels within an image depicting the structure captured at a second instance of time; assess a degree of alignment between the outline and the pixels depicting the structure, so as to classify similarities between the structure depicted within the pixels of the image and the outline using a machine learning model to generate an alignment confidence score; and determine an existence of a change in the structure based upon the alignment confidence score indicating a level of confidence below a predetermined threshold level of confidence that the outline and the pixels within the image are aligned.

A fingerprint identification system comprising a smart device, a fingerprint scanner, a processor coupled to a transceiver and to the fingerprint scanner, and a digital storage element coupled to the processor. The digital storage element stores logic that causes the processor to: activate the fingerprint scanner to scan a user's finger, identify a feature and multiple minutia of the user's fingerprint, and generate a digital fingerprint string(s) indicative of a position of each minutia relative to the feature. The processor is then caused to combine the digital fingerprint string(s) with a first cryptographic salt to generate a first hash. The first hash is compared to a first hash signature to determine if the first hash represents an authentic fingerprint. If authentic, the processor combines the digital fingerprint string(s) with a second cryptographic salt to generate a second hash. This second hash is transmitted to one or more servers.
