Explaining why an aerial image and a roof model differ
An image and a reconstructed model may reflect different dates, data limits or building selections.
A practical approach
Confirm that both refer to the same structure before comparing details. Check the available source dates and identify missing or uncertain features. Do not force the model to resemble the image without supporting evidence. Route differences through the measurement review so the proposal uses a defensible set of inputs.
Put it into practice
- Confirm the same structure
- Check available source dates
- Investigate uncertain features
