1. A method of minimizing image capture for multi-dimensional reconstruction, the method comprising:
receiving a request for a multi-dimensional building model based on a minimum criteria, wherein the minimum criteria establishes building images necessary to produce the multi-dimensional building model;
processing a first building image of a building object and a second building image of the building object, wherein processing the first building image and the second building image comprises determining, by one or more processors, if a first minimum criterion is present in the first building image or the second building image;
selecting the first building image or the second building image based on the presence of the first minimum criterion in one of the first building image or the second building image;
receiving one or more additional building images comprising imagery of the building object;
aggregating the one or more additional building images with the selected first building image or the second building image based on the presence of a second minimum criterion in the one or more additional building images; and
constructing the multi-dimensional building model of the building object from aggregated building images.
