1. A method, comprising:
providing a street address and an 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 way of the following algorithm:
determining a pair of lines each extending from a street level camera position to either corner of a front face of the house and a distance between the corners representing a width of the house from the aerial outline of the house from the mapping application; and
translating the distance between the corners from the determining step to pixel values in the street level image representing the width of the house;
calculating portions of the street level image in excess of pixel values representing the width of 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.
