Claim 0:
1. A method of improving the accuracy of a damage assessment based on aerial imagery, the method comprising:
obtaining a first set of imagery of a first property captured at a first time;
automatically creating a first three-dimensional model of the first property based on clipped images produced by clipping images in the first set of imagery, the clipping comprising:
identifying a first selected property, from properties queried for in the first set of imagery, having a point in a first footprint polygon that is found by querying a geographic information source; and
clipping the images in the first set of imagery, based on a location of the first selected property, at two zooms including a neighborhood level zoom and a structure level zoom;
obtaining a second set of imagery of the first property captured at a second time subsequent to the first time;
automatically creating a second three-dimensional model of the first property based on clipped images produced by clipping images in the second set of imagery, the clipping comprising:
identifying a second selected property, from properties queried for in the second set of imagery, having a point in a second footprint polygon that is found by querying the geographic information source; and
clipping the images in the second set of imagery, based on a location of the second selected property, at two zooms including a neighborhood level zoom and a structure level zoom;
automatically comparing the first three-dimensional model and the second three-dimensional model using a machine learning model to detect damage on the first property that has occurred in the interval between the first time and the second time; and
generating and presenting a damage report based on the comparison of the first three-dimensional model and the second three-dimensional model;
wherein the damage report comprises information related to a probability of information in the damage report being accurate.
