VANTEDGEPOINT is measuring made simple. The breakthrough technology eliminates the need to send workers
up onto a roof with a tape measure to get those
painstaking as-built measurements.
TRUE STATEMENT #1:
Getting “fabrication level” roofing
measurements and drawings in a
fraction of the time and at a
fraction of the current cost –
without ever having to send
guys up to the roof with a tape
measure – would be a big plus for
the roofing business.
TRUE STATEMENT #2:
There is an app for that.
HOW IT WORKS:
All it takes is a
video survey of a
roof with a drone,
your smartphone, a
tablet, or hand-held
camera, along with
VANTEDGEPOINT’s
VideoSurv™ app
and VideoSurvTM website client.
will process your video and
reconstruct all the measurements
using our cloud-based technology.
We will send you a high quality
2D/3D measurement report with
your models enclosed.
You get the accuracy you need
for competitive bidding, complete
takeoffs, even to fabricate custom
roof components.
ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY:
The innovative technology behind
VideoSurv is the result of five
years of R&D, funded in part by
the National Science Foundation.
It uses proprietary algorithms to
extract points, lines, and edges
from video to create 3D point
clouds and to generate as-built
measurements at fabrication
level accuracy.
VANTEDGEPOINT worked
closely with the developer of the
underlying technology, Pointivo,
to create the VideoSurv roofing
solution, which can be used on any
iOS device or from our website.
FEATURES:
EFFICIENT - Measure once
and you’re done, accurate
measurements and the resulting
3D model are archived, so you
never have to visit the jobsite twice
to verify measurements. Receive
your measurements by email or
text. Even use our 3D models and
measurements with downstream
CAD applications to program
fabrication machinery automatically.
EASY - We developed this
technology specifically with the
roofer in mind. By following our
simple capture patterns and with
a basic understanding of video
cameras, you can survey a roof in
minutes, not hours. Use a lowcost video camera like a Go-Pro, a
smartphone or a camera-equipped
drone. Just point, shoot and
upload. We’ll do the rest!
SAFE - Keep your workers on
the ground and off of dangerous,
high-slope roofs. Make the work
easier, the workplace safer and
drive your insurance costs down.
ACCURATE - Never again
decipher dimensions handwritten
on a roofer’s scratchpad and hope
they’re correct. With fabrication
level accuracy, estimating
roof takeoffs and fabrication
measuring merge into one simple
process.
FAST - We’ve tested it and found
that video measurement of a
multi-planed roof will take a tenth
of the time it takes for manual
measurement. Get drawings and
estimates done in a fraction of
the time.
FLEXIBLE - While using a drone
to fly over the roof does make
this process easier and quicker, it
is not required. You can survey
the roof with any video camera
or smart phone. Our patented
technology is flexible enough to
accept video shot from the air or
from the rooftop.
AFFORDABLE - Imagine the
costs associated with two workers
spending half a day surveying the
roof. Now, imagine only sending
one worker with a drone. Free up
time to work on other things and
save money doing it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Is this solution easier than other
solutions used in scanning?
Yes. We developed this technology with
the roofer in mind. We understand how
complicated laser scanning can be and
wanted to make it simple to capture video.
By following our simple capture patterns
and a basic understanding of video
cameras, you can survey a roof in
minutes, not hours. Just point, shoot,
and upload. We’ll do the rest.
Do I have to buy a drone to use this
technology?
We are not tied to drone technology.
You can survey the roof with any video
camera or smart phone to receive accurate
measurements and models. While flying a
drone over the roof does make the process
easier and quicker, it is not required. Our
patented technology is flexible enough to
accept video shot from the air or from the
