Building structures include parking garages, ruins, monuments, and buildings under construction along with residential, commercial, industrial, apartment, townhouses, duplexes, etc. Buildings equal to or larger than 9.29 square meters (100 square feet) are captured. Buildings are delineated around the roof line showing the building "footprint." Roof breaks and rooflines, such as between individual residences in row houses or separate spaces in office structures, are captured to partition building footprints. This includes capturing all sheds, garages, or other non-addressable buildings over 100 square feet throughout the city. Atriums, courtyards, and other “holes” in buildings created as part of demarcating the building outline are not part of the building capture. This includes construction trailers greater than 100 square feet. Memorials are delineated around a roof line showing the building "footprint."Bleachers are delineated around the base of connected sets of bleachers. Parking Garages are delineated at the perimeter of the parking garage including ramps. Parking garages sharing a common boundary with linear features must have the common segment captured once. A parking garage is only attributed as such if there is rooftop parking. Not all rooftop parking is a parking garage, however. There are structures that only have rooftop parking but serve as a business. Those are captured as buildings. Fountains are delineated around the base of fountain structures.
NYS Building Footprints - metadata info:The New York State building footprints service contains building footprints with address information. The footprints have address point information folded in from the Streets and Address Matching (SAM - https://gis.ny.gov/streets/) address point file. The building footprints have a field called “Address Range”, this field shows (where available) either a single address or an address range, depending on the address points that fall within the footprint. Ex: 3860 Atlantic Avenue or Ex: 32 - 34 Wheatfield Circle Building footprints in New York State are from four different sources: Microsoft, Open Data, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), and Geospatial Services. The majority of the footprints are from NYSERDA, except in NYC where the primary source was Open Data. Microsoft footprints were added where the other 2 sources were missing polygons. Field Descriptions: NYSGeo Source : tells the end user if the source is NYSERDA, Microsoft, NYC Open Data, and could expand from here in the futureAddress Point Count: the number of address points that fall within that building footprintAddress Range : If an address point falls within a footprint it lists the range of those address points. Ex: if a building is on a corner of South Pearl and Beaver Street, 40 points fall on the building, and 35 are South Pearl Street it would give the range of addresses for South Pearl. We also removed sub addresses from this range, primarily apartment related. For example, in above example, it would not list 30 South Pearl, Apartment 5A, it would list 30 South Pearl.Most Common Street : the street name of the largest number of address points. In the above example, it would list “South Pearl” as the most common street since the majority of address points list it as the street. Other Streets: the list of other streets that fall within the building footprint, if any. In the above example, “Beaver Street” would be listed since address points for Beaver Street fall on the footprint but are not in the majority.County Name : County name populated from CIESINs. If not populated from CIESINs, identified by the GSMunicipality Name : Municipality name populated from CIESINs. If not populated from CIESINs, identified by the GSSource: Source where the data came from. If NYSGeo Source = NYSERDA, the data would typically list orthoimagery, LIDAR, county data, etc.Source ID: if NYSGeo Source = NYSERDA, Source ID would typically list an orthoimage or LIDAR tileSource Date: Date the footprint was created. If the source image was from 2016 orthoimagery, 2016 would be the Source Date.

Building footprint layers are useful in preparing base maps and analysis workflows for urban planning and development. They also have use in insurance, taxation, change detection, infrastructure planning, and a variety of other applications.
Digitizing building footprints from imagery is a time-consuming task and is commonly done by digitizing features manually. Deep learning models are highly capable of learning these complex semantics and can produce superior results. Use this deep learning model to automate the tedious manual process of extracting building footprints, reducing time and effort required significantly.Using the modelFollow the guide to use the model.

This dataset shows the footprints of all structures within the City of Melbourne. A building footprint is a 2D polygon (or multi-polygon) representation of the base of a building or structure. The footprint is defined as the boundary of the structure where the walls intersect with the ground plane or podium, rather than an outline of the roof area (roofprint).
Where a building has a significant change in built form, multiple footprint polygons are ‘stacked’ vertically to define shape of the built form. This includes, and is not limited to:
The Australian Height Datum (AHD) is the national vertical datum for Australia. The National Mapping Council adopted the AHD in May 1971 as the datum to which all vertical control mapping would be referred
The data was captured in May 2023.
GDB Version: ArcGIS Pro 3.3Additional Resources:Shapefile DownloadREST EndpointBuilding footprints are polygon outlines of structures remotely rendered through digitizing of Virginia Base Mapping Program’s digital ortho-photogrammetry imagery, or digitizing of local government subdivision plats. VBMP building footprints are a collection of locally submitted data and as published from the Virginia Geographic Information Network carry no addressing, nor is there any ownership, resident information, or construction specifications provided. VBMP building footprints are not assumed to be of survey quality and carry no guarantees as to accuracy. Even with these restrictions building outlines are a valuable resource for emergency response operations and for community planning. Currently the Virginia Base Mapping Program’s collection of building footprints consists of over 4 million structures. Data input from localities are processed and published quarterly. To date the majority of Virginia’s localities building footprints have been captured but not all.

B.1 Buildings Inventory
The Building Footprints data layer is an inventory of buildings in Southeast Michigan representing both the shape of the building and attributes related to the location, size, and use of the structure. The layer was first developed in 2010using heads-up digitizing to trace the outlines of buildings from 2010 one foot resolution aerial photography. This process was later repeated using six inch resolution imagery in 2015 and 2020 to add recently constructed buildings to the inventory. Due to differences in spatial accuracy between the 2010 imagery and later imagery sources, footprint polygons delineated in 2010 may appear shifted compared with imagery that is more recent.
Building Definition
For the purposes of this data layer, a building is defined as a structure containing one or more housing units AND/OR at least 250 square feet of nonresidential job space. Detached garages, pole barns, utility sheds, and most structures on agricultural or recreational land uses are therefore not considered buildings as they do not contain housing units or dedicated nonresidential job space.
How Current is the Buildings Footprints Layer
The building footprints data layer is current as of April, 2020. This date was chose to align with the timing of the 2020 Decennial Census, so that accurate comparisons of housing unit change can be made to evaluate the quality of Census data.
Temporal Aspects
The building footprints data layer is designed to be temporal in nature, so that an accurate inventory of buildings at any point in time since the origination of the layer in April 2010 can be visualized. To facilitate this, when existing buildings are demolished the demolition date is recorded but they are not removed from the inventory. To view only current buildings, you must filter the data layer using the expression, WHERE DEMOLISHED IS NULL.
