Automated methods and systems for feature extraction are disclosed, including automated methods performed by at least one processor running computer executable instructions stored on at least one non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising determining and isolating an object of interest within a point cloud; forming a modified point cloud having one or more data points with first location coordinates of the object of interest; and generating a boundary outline having second location coordinates of the object of interest using spectral analysis of at least one section of at least one image identified with the first location coordinates and depicting the object of interest.

Automated system and methodology for feature extraction

A method for creating image products includes the following steps. Image data and positional data corresponding to the image data are captured and processed to create geo-referenced images. Edge detection procedures are performed on the geo-referenced images to identify edges and produce geo-referenced, edge-detected images. The geo-referenced, edge-detected images are saved in a database. A user interface to view and interact with the geo-referenced image is also provided such that the user can consistently select the same Points of Interest between multiple interactions and multiple users.

Systems and methods for processing images with edge detection and snap-to feature

An automated method performed by at least one processor running computer executable instructions stored on at least one non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising: classifying first data points identifying at least one man-made roof structure within a point cloud and classifying second data points associated with at least one of natural structures and ground surface to form a modified point cloud; identifying at least one feature of the man-made roof structure in the modified point cloud; and generating a roof report including the at least one feature.

A set of instructions stored on at least one computer readable medium for running on a computer system. The set of instructions includes instructions for identifying line segments of a roof that is preferably displayed within a geo-referenced image, instructions for determining three-dimensional information of the line segments including position, orientation and length of the line segments preferably utilizing the geo-referenced image, and instructions for classifying, automatically, at least one of the line segments as one of a plurality of predefined roof elements utilizing at least one of the relative position and orientation of the line segments.
