| Does anyone do 3D scans or pictures for the exterior of houses that would help builders measure and quote their leads? A friend of mine physically walks around the house to measure the gutters on the house. Is there a specific camera and software that would allow him to take multiple pictures of the house and measure it in a software? Thanks in advance! |

| Hi we have used drones and then processed thru Pix4d |

| This could, I would think, be done with a drone using DroneDeploy's photogrammetry software. This is how I created "Outdoor 3D Mode" models for adding to GeoCV 3D (like Matterport) interiors. I would think referencing just one edge measurement via laser or tape measurement, you could extrapolate everything else. One example is here - click the "tree" icon to see the exterior model. Mouse over this model to pan, tilt, rotate. |

| @DanSmigrod I've seen Hover but think it is rather expensive for a contractor and not sure I fully trust the software with only using 8 pictures from an iPhone. Sure it is good for a one time use if you are a home owner to get a rough idea for costs. But, I think there is a better way using a drone or Lidar Camera with your own software to quote out multiple leads a day. Which then I think we can make money as a freelancer that goes out and takes pictures for exterior contractors. (gutters, roof, siding, windows, etc.) |

| @DylanWilcox HOVER uses satellite imagery to construct the 3D model of the exterior of a house. It's likely HOVER is faster, less expensive, easier, better workflow and the exporting features to order materials will likely be amazing. Your solution likely makes sense for commercial real estate: not residential. Perhaps you could do HOVER as a Service to contractor? Dan |

| Per @HarryCayman, take a look at Pix4D - specifically its Catch app that runs on the latest iPad Pro (or iPhone 12) and uses its Lidar to scan accurate measurements. the app is free but Pix4D processing is $200/mo. on the Cloud. For drone measurements, you need to set up a reference marker and then process the photos through Pix4D Mapper desktop ($350/mo.) or Cloud (no adjustments available). DroneDeploy for drone mapping is $150/mo. but is not as accurate as Pix4D unless you get the Premium package for $450/mo. (annual plans are cheaper if paid in one payment up front). |

| You can get roof or property data for an address with Geomni without taking any shots. I believe they use satellite images. I do not know the price or anything else. | ||
