Abstract:
Described herein is a process and system for constructing three-dimensional (3D) representations of buildings. The 3D representations of buildings are semantic models that include roof nodes, roof edges, as well as roof faces with associated properties (e.g., pitch, azimuth). The system receives a 2D representation such as a roof outline including nodes connected by edges and associated data such as a height value, a pitch value, an independent structure, or a dependent structure. The system determines height values where a building structure changes. The system propagates a wavefront representing a cross-section of the building to the height values to generate 3D model edges. The 3D representation is generated based on the 3D model edges. The system can create 3D representations of buildings including roof structures of arbitrary complexity and can create representations of dependent roof structures such as dormers.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n receiving a roof perimeter, the perimeter represented by a polygon including a set of nodes and edges, each edge associated with a height and a pitch, the polygon representing an outline of the roof; modeling each edge as a vertical wall of the height by propagating a wavefront vertically along the edges until reaching the height of the edges, the wavefront corresponding to the cross-section of the roof; and from each edge propagating the wavefront inward at a speed corresponding to the pitch.
