Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for pitch determination. An example method includes obtaining an image depicting a structure, the image being captured via a user device positioned proximate to the structure. The image is segmented to identify, at least, a roof facet of the structure. An eave vector and a rake vector which are associated with the roof facet are determined. A normal vector of the roof facet is calculated based on the eave vector and the rake vector, and compared to a vector indicating a vertical direction such as gravity. The angle made out by the normal and a gravity vector may be utilized to calculate the pitch of the roof facet.
