Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a system comprising one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
collecting, using a smartphone, a plurality of ground-level images capturing all sides of a single building;
determining a location for the plurality of ground-level images;
generating an outline of a plurality of facades associated with all sides of the single building shown within the ground-level images to assist in generation of a three-dimensional building model of the single building;
generating the three-dimensional building model based on the outlined plurality of facades associated with all sides of the single building, wherein the generating the three-dimensional building model includes at least correlation and rectification of the outlined plurality of facades and representing points of the single building projected in three-dimensional space;
retrieving a geo-referenced top-view orthogonal image of the single building based on the determined location of at least one of the plurality of ground-level images;
deriving a scale as between all points of the three-dimensional building model by geo-referencing all points of the three-dimensional building model using the geo-referenced top-view orthogonal image by correlating the geo-referenced top-view orthogonal image to include matching at least two points of the three-dimensional building model to corresponding roof pixels in the geo-referenced top-view orthogonal image and identifying those matches as being part of a same feature within the three-dimensional building model of the single building;
measuring, on the scaled three-dimensional building model, between at least one starting georeferenced point and at least one ending geo-referenced point to determine dimensions of one or more architectural elements, the dimensions including at least width and height of the one or more architectural elements, located within at least a first facade of the geo-referenced three-dimensional building model; and
labeling the architectural element within the scaled three-dimensional building model, the labeling representing the determined dimensions.
