1. A method, comprising:
providing a street address and the aerial outline of a house from a mapping application;
converting the street address to a geographic location comprising a latitude and longitude;
retrieving a street level image of the house from the geographic location;
cropping the street level image of the house by:
identifying corners of the house in the street level image by:
determining the angular extent of the house from the nearest point on the street from the aerial outline; and
translating distance and angles from the determining step to pixel values in the street level image; and
calculating portions of the street level image in excess of pixel values representing the house; and
cropping the portions from the street level image, thereby removing at least a portion of neighboring houses from the image; and
storing the cropped images.
