TLDR
In this article, the estimated floor area measurement of a building based on the calculated estimated total roof area of the roof of the building is estimated. This is based on a correlation between the size of building roof and the building's size.Abstract:
A system generates an estimated floor area measurement of a building based on the calculated estimated total roof area of the roof of the building. This is based on a correlation between the size of the building roof and the size of the building. Typically, the floor area of a single full floor of the building is roughly the size of the roof of the building if the roof were flat with no slope. This in effect is turning the roof into a floor to generate estimated floor area. With additional adjustments to area measurements to account for multiple floors, roof overhang, wall width, internal building features such as walls and staircases, and/or obstructed views of the building in the aerial image(s), etc., an even more accurate floor area estimation may be generated.read more

Geometric correction of rough wireframe models derived from photographs
Chris Pershing,John F. Keane +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the correction of rough wireframe models derived from photographs may include rectification of either a 2D or 3D original wireframe model of a roof structure, derivation of metadata from the original wireframes, in-plane normalization of the wireframe, extrusion into a rough 3D wireframe based on the normalized wireframe and correction of the "rough" 3d wireframe.
