<colgroup> <col width="408" /></colgroup> We desire an algo that will *detect* and *highlight*
1) The edges of a roof on any building (single-family homes/multi-family homes/commercial buildings etc..) from ortho or angled aerial images.
2) Any protrusions on the roof
3) Any edges within the perimeter of the roof
The algo should begin with an initial condition of a circle (whose initial dimensions can be modified) *within* the perimeter of the roof. This should expand outward to find the edges.
The algo should complete within 5 seconds.

## Platform
The executable should run on Ubuntu Linux or Windows XP. It will eventually be called from a website that will contact a server to run the analysis.
Ideally, it will be written in C++.
We can discuss a Matlab script if it can be compiled into a C or C++ executable. We do not have a Matlab license.
