Automated guide for image capturing for 3D model creation
An image capture system provides automated prompts for aiding a user in capturing images for use in 3D model creation. While a user is preparing to capture an image, the system provides visual indications that indicate whether a quality-based condition is satisfied. Based on the visual indications, a user can determine whether an image, if captured, would likely be suitable for use in creating a 3D model. Determining if the quality-based condition is satisfied may include monitoring output generated by one or more sensors and comparing the output against a threshold value. Additionally, the system may analyze the visual content or metadata associated with an image to determine if the quality-based condition is satisfied and request user input to further identify certain image features that were identified by the system.
1. A method for directing capture of images for creating 3D models of a building object, comprising:
receiving an image frame for quality analysis;
identifying one or more features of the building object within the image frame;
generating a bounding box for the identified feature;
determining, by one or more processors, whether a quality-based condition for the image frame is satisfied, wherein determining whether the quality-based condition is satisfied comprises detecting that the bounding box is disposed within the image frame; and
providing one or more prompts associated with the image frame based on a status of the quality-based condition.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bounding box surrounds a building.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the building comprises a door, a window, and a roof.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more features comprise a roof facet.
5. The method of claim 1 , where the one or more features comprise a roof line.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more features comprise a gable.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more features comprise a corner of the building object.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the bounding box is disposed within the image frame comprises detecting that the entirety of the bounding box is within the image frame.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing the image frame based on satisfying the quality-based condition.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the image frame is captured by a device.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more prompts are provided as a visual indicator on the device.
12. Non-transitory computer storage media storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving an image frame for quality analysis;
identifying one or more features of a building object within the image frame;
generating a bounding box for the identified feature;
determining, by one or more processors, whether a quality-based condition for the image frame is satisfied, wherein determining whether the quality-based condition is satisfied comprises detecting that the bounding box is disposed within the image frame; and
providing one or more prompts associated with the image frame based on a status of the quality-based condition.
13. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 12 , wherein the bounding box surrounds a building.
14. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 13 , wherein the building comprises a door, a window, and a roof.
15. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 12 , wherein the one or more features comprise a roof facet.
16. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 12 , where the one or more features comprise a roof line.
17. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 12 , wherein the one or more features comprise a gable.
18. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 12 , wherein the one or more features comprise a corner of the building object.
19. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 12 , wherein detecting the bounding box is disposed within the image frame comprises detecting that the entirety of the bounding box is within the image frame.
20. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 12 , further comprising storing the image frame based on satisfying the quality-based condition.
21. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 12 , wherein the image frame is captured by a device.
22. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 21 , wherein the one or more prompts are provided as a visual indicator on the device.
