As our goal is to calculate the effectiveness of the method, it is crucial to determine the area which the camera could cover. This is calculate applying geospatial tools and the data set Pluto. Using the data from the previous study, the area is determined visually knowing the vantage point where the images were taken and knowing reference landmarks that the images were shown. The vantage point is located in One Metrotech Center in Brooklyn (40° 41' 40" N, 73° 59' 09" W), and the two landmarks are The Empire State Building ( 40° 44' 55.7412'' N, 73° 59' 7.5408'' W) and the Manhattan Bridge (40° 42' 26.99" N, 73° 59' 26.79" W). Having this three points is enough to estimate the area covered. This area capture mostly a fraction of Manhattan and a small part of Brooklyn. Furthermore, not only is the mentioned area studied but also a new one facing South is analyzed. The vantage point remained the same, but references are now the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge (40° 36' 23" N, 74° 02' 44" W) and The Brooklyner (40°41' 33.7" N, 73° 59' 9.7" W). In this case, the area capture is only the borough of Brooklyn.
Once the areas were determined, we were able to obtain and process the information of all the buildings located within those areas to calculate our estimated number of windows. The following image shows the areas captured by the camera pointing at these two directions:
