Systems and methods for assessing property development condition
A technique for assessing development condition of a property is provided that determines development condition for an individual property or properties of interest using image or other sensor data from one or more unmanned aerial vehicles taken over the development process. A property condition output may be generated to indicate a condition of the property or properties.
1. A system, comprising:
communication circuitry configured to communicate with a controller of an unmanned aerial vehicle; and
a processor configured to:
receive first image data of a property;
identify a construction stage of the property based on the first image data;
receive weather data corresponding to a time period during the construction stage;
determine a development condition of the property based on the weather data and on a presence or absence of a construction feature of the first image data;
determine an estimated time to complete the construction stage of the property based on the development condition; and
instruct the controller of the unmanned aerial vehicle to obtain second image data based on the estimated time to complete the construction stage of the property.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to instruct the controller of the unmanned aerial vehicle or an additional unmanned aerial vehicle to obtain the first image data of the property via a flight path.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the construction feature comprises a structural foundation feature.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the construction feature comprises a protective barrier.
5. The system of claim 1 , comprising the unmanned aerial vehicle.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the construction feature is concrete, and wherein the estimated time corresponds to a total curing time of the concrete.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the weather data indicates an occurrence of a rain during the estimated time to complete the construction stage.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to instruct the unmanned aerial vehicle to obtain the second image data after the estimated time elapses.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
determine a subsequent construction stage based on the first image data and the second image data;
generate a development condition output based on the subsequent construction stage; and
output the development condition output to a computing device.
10. A method, comprising:
instructing an unmanned aerial vehicle to obtain image data of a property;
receiving the image data of the property from the unmanned aerial vehicle;
identifying a construction stage of the property based on the image data;
receiving weather data corresponding to a time period during the construction stage;
determining a development condition of the property based on the weather data and on a presence or absence of a construction feature of the image data;
determining an estimated time to complete the construction stage of the property based on the development condition;
generating a development condition output based on the estimated time to complete the construction stage of the property; and
outputting the development condition output to a computing device.
11. The method of claim 10 , comprising determining that the estimated time to complete the construction stage exceeds a threshold time; and
outputting the development condition output based on the estimated time exceeding the threshold time.
12. The method of claim 10 , comprising scheduling the unmanned aerial vehicle or an additional unmanned aerial vehicle to obtain additional image data of the property based on the estimated time to complete the construction stage of the property.
13. The method of claim 10 , comprising rendering a property model based on the estimated time to complete the construction stage of the property.
14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the construction feature is concrete, and wherein the estimated time corresponds to a total curing time of the concrete.
15. A tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving first image data of a property;
identifying a construction stage of the property based on the first image data;
receiving weather data corresponding to a time period during the construction stage;
determining a development condition of the property based on the weather data and on a presence or absence of a construction feature of the first image data;
determining an estimated time to complete the construction stage of the property based on the development condition;
scheduling an unmanned aerial vehicle to obtain second image data of the property based on the estimated time to complete the construction stage of the property; and
instructing the unmanned aerial vehicle to obtain the second image data in accordance with the estimated time.
16. The tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising generating a model of the property based on the first image data and the second image data.
17. The tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
determining a construction defect corresponding to the property based on the first image data and the second image data.
18. The tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to determine the construction defect comprises:
identifying an additional construction feature in the second image data, wherein the additional constructional feature indicates a subsequent construction stage of the property.
19. The tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the construction feature comprises a structural foundation feature.
20. The tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the weather data comprises an average humidity, an amount of rainfall, or both, and wherein the received weather data causes the estimated time to complete the construction stage to be adjusted upwards when the average humidity exceeds a humidity threshold, the amount of rainfall exceeds a rainfall amount threshold, or both.
