Abstract
An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided for the improved and automatic prediction of an elevation of an architectural feature of a structure at a particular geographic location. Some example implementations employ predictive, machine-learning modeling to facilitate the use of LiDAR-derived ground-elevation data, additional location context data, and elevation data from comparator locations to extrapolate and otherwise predict the elevation or other position of a given architectural feature of structure.
