Abstract
A method and system for producing a photorealistic image of a planned structure — for example a deck, dock, patio, stair, railing, fence, pergola, or building addition — inside a photograph of the actual site, such that the rendered structure matches an engineered design rather than an approximation invented by an image-generation model. Structural geometry comes from a deterministic engineering model; a generative model supplies appearance only; a separate model verifies each render against a guide image derived from the design itself, and the system corrects or regenerates within a bound. Further sub-assemblies may be rendered onto an accepted result in later passes, each verified the same way, and alternative catalogue products may be substituted to compare options.
