Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. 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 facade shown within the ground-level images of all sides of the single building 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, 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 within the three-dimensional building model by matching at least two points of the three-dimensional building model associated with at least one outlined facade to corresponding roof pixels in the geo-referenced top-view orthogonal image;
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 located within the plurality of facades; and
labeling the one or more architectural element with the determined dimensions.
