System and method for assessing a physical structure

This invention describes a computer program that looks at infrared pictures of physical structures, such as building roofs. It identifies any unusually warm spots in the image, measures their features like their size, shape, and how close they are to other warm spots, and then categorizes these warm spots. Based on these categories, the program can determine the condition of the roof or other physical structure.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of advanced machine learning for image analysis. Modern computer vision and AI techniques could significantly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of determining indicators, characteristics, and classification, making the core method more robust and easier to implement now.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, image processing, classification algorithms
