A method of providing a user interface for map target creation according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, in which a map target application executed by at least one processor of a terminal provides the user interface for map target creation, includes: acquiring an image captured by photographing a 3D space; extracting a key frame of the captured image; detecting feature points in the extracted key frame; generating a 3D map based on the detected feature points; generating object information including class information and object area information for at least one key object in the key frame; mapping the generated object information to the 3D map; displaying the object information mapped on the 3D map; and providing an object function setting interface based on the 3D map.

Methods and systems are disclosed that automatically determine solar access values. In one implementation, a 3D geo-referenced model of a structure is retrieved in which geographic location on the earth of points in the 3D geo-referenced model are stored or associated with points in the 3D geo-referenced model. Object point cloud data indicative of object(s) that cast shade on the structure is retrieved. The object point cloud data may be generated from one or more georeferenced images and the object point cloud data is indicative of an actual size, shape, and location of the object(s) on the earth. The structure in the 3D geo-referenced model is divided into one or more sections, which are divided into one or more areas, each area having at least three vertices. Then, a solar access value for the particular vertex is determined.
