Detection of Green Roofs

Detection of Green Roofs from High-Resolution Aerial Images for the Creation of Green Roof Inventories.

Did you know that green roofs not only improve the climate of a building but can also contribute to reducing energy costs and extending the lifespan of roofs?

Green roofs create a more comfortable building climate by reducing the need for heating and cooling energy. They also protect the roof membrane from weather influences, potentially doubling the lifespan of roofs. Additionally, they store rainwater, which evaporates more slowly, and promote biodiversity by providing a habitat for insects, which is often lacking in urban areas. Despite these numerous benefits, there are currently no comprehensive and spatially differentiated maps of green roofs. Our solution fills this gap by offering precise and automated detection of green roofs.

  • Detection of buildings with green roofs.
  • Calculation of the green roof area in m².
  • Determination of the percentage of the roof covered with greenery.
  • Spatially comprehensive and precise analysis.
  • Automated Green Roof Detection: Precise and cost-efficient identification of green roofs without the need for extensive on-site inspections.
  • High-Resolution Data Base: Utilization of current Digital Orthophotos (DOPs) and 2.5D point clouds for accurate results.
  • Area-Wide Analysis: Capture of large areas in a short time with high spatial accuracy.
  • Easy Integration: Provision of data in standard GIS formats for seamless further processing.
