BRAILS++: Building Regional Asset Inventories at Large Scale

What is it?

BRAILS++ is an object-oriented framework for building applications that focus on generating asset inventories for large geographic regions.

How is the repo laid out?

• brails: A directory containing the classes
  • brails/types: directory containing useful datatypes, e.g., ImageSet and AssetInventory
  • brails/processors: directory containing classes that do image_processing to make predictions, e.g. RoofShape
  • brails/scrapers: directory containing classes that do internet downloads, e.g., footprint and image scrapers.
  • brails/filters: directory containing image filters, e.g., classes that take images and revise or filter out unnecessary portions of images.
  • brails/imputers: directory containing classes that fill in missing AssetInventory datasets, i.e., filling in features that are missing in certain Assets of the AssetInventory.
  • brails/inferers: directory containing classes that infer new asset features based on existing features in the Assets of AssetInventory.
  • brails/utils: directory containing misc classes that do useful things, e.g. geometric conversions
• examples: A directory containing example scripts and Jupyter notebooks
• tests: A directory containing unit tests. The directory structure follows that of brails
