Abstract

Methods for defining a building internal framework from external imagery are presented, the method including: receiving a number of raw images of a building; processing the number of raw images of the building to establish a number of facades; and determining the building internal framework for each of the number of facades. In some embodiments, the processing the number of raw images includes: for each of the number of façades, selecting a façade; selecting all IR thermography images corresponding with the selected façade; removing distortion from the selected IR thermography images; stitching the selected IR thermography images corresponding with the selected façade together to form a single façade image corresponding with the selected facade; correcting perspective distortion of the single facade image; cropping the single façade image; and receiving dimensions of an actual façade corresponding with the single façade image.
