AI Roof error handling behavior

· One min read

V2 Release Version: 0.8196.0

Description:

  • Added "AI won't work for this site" error message to the runAutoRoof action.
    • Now in the case of an error, clients can distinguish between random system failures ("Unknown error occurred") and repeatable AI failures. AI will not work in 100% of cases, and now users can have confidence that they should switch to an alternative workflow instead of retrying AI and having it fail again.
    • Over time we hope to improve both the false positive rate of sites where we could produce a model but returned an error, and the false negative rate of when the algorithm fails but we return an unhelpful error.
    • As of launch time, we expect this error will impact 2-3% of requests. The number of unknown errors will decrease such that the overall error rate stays the same.
  • Added "skipOodLidar" option to the runAutoRoof action. Clients can now choose whether to ignore errors related to out of date LIDAR and continue producing roof models in cases where this error would have occurred previously.
