How Hover uses AI[1][2][6]
Hover uses computer vision and deep learning to turn 8 to 10 smartphone photos of a property into an interactive 3D model with to-the-inch exterior measurements. Its AI Instant Design generates photo-realistic exterior and interior visualizations from a single photo in seconds.
- • Stitches a handful of smartphone photos into an accurate, interactive 3D model with measurements for roofing, siding, windows, and doors
- • Computer vision and deep learning deliver to-the-inch exterior measurements within plus or minus 5 percent
- • AI Instant Design renders photo-realistic exterior and interior design options from a single photo
AI type: Computer vision and deep learning
