EagleView Technologies Announces Issuance of Two New Patents
BOTHELL, Wash. — EagleView Technologies Inc. has announced that the United States Patent Office recently awarded two new patents for inventions surrounding the improved capture of aerial imagery and the use of that imagery for the creation of roof reports. Both System for Detecting Image Abnormalities, bearing U.S. Patent Number 8,515,198, and System and Process for Roof Measurement Using Aerial Imagery, bearing U.S. Patent Number 8,515,125, were issued Aug. 20 to affiliate Pictometry International Corp.
The first patent describes a method for automatically detecting image abnormalities caused by excessive sun glare. With a fleet of 74 capture aircraft, it is the mission of EagleView to continually develop new and inventive ways of ensuring the highest quality of Pictometry imagery. The capture systems continually monitor the cameras’ health while identifying failed image captures which in turn automatically captures a second image. This ensures complete coverage across difficult capture environments, further enhancing Pictometry’s oblique and ortho image library.
