Abstract

L'invention concerne un système d'estimation de la surface de parois qui génère une mesure de superficie de paroi estimée d'un immeuble qui se base sur les mesures de toit reçues (par ex., celles générées par, reçues de ou trouvées dans un modèle tridimensionnel de toit) et une distance de référence. La distance de référence est une mesure indiquant une distance entre un point de référence sur le toit et la surface du sol. Cette distance de référence peut être utilisée pour déterminer comment distribuer les parois d'une immeuble (par ex., à un rez-de-chaussée) lors de la construction d'un modèle numérique tridimensionnel d'immeuble afin de faciliter la génération de mesures de superficie de paroi. Les mesures de paroi, les mesures de toit, les mesures de surfaces obtenues manquant à la paroi utilisées pour générer un rapport estimé de paroi, ou un rapport combiné de toit et de paroi estimé comprennent différents identificateurs indiquant les différentes caractéristiques et mesures basées sur le modèle tridimensionnel.
