Software Development

MIHEA (Mono-Image Height Extraction Algorithm)
MIHEA is developed at Stanford University in collaboration with ImageCat Inc. for the purpose of compiling building inventory and extracting critical information about infrastructures (longitude, latitude, height, number of stories, total square footage, degree of irregularity and etc.) using single high-resolution satellite images.
