Imaging processing system for identifying parts for repairing a vehicle
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a network interface via which a plurality of images of a damaged vehicle is received;
a composite image generator component configured to construct a composite, three-dimensional image of the damaged vehicle from the plurality of images of the damaged vehicle;
a damage profile generator component configured to compare the constructed, composite three-dimensional image of the damaged vehicle to a stored, three-dimensional image of an undamaged vehicle, and to generate deformation data corresponding to a crush profile of the damaged vehicle based on the comparison;
one or more data storage devices storing historical claim data of a plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims;
an access mechanism to the historical claim data;
a deformation model component configured to generate, based on the generated deformation data of the damaged vehicle, respective indications of one or more replacement parts needed to repair the damaged vehicle,the deformation model component including a deformation model generated from accessing, via the access mechanism, the historical claim data of the plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims and performing a regression analysis on the accessed historical claim data to determine a subset of a plurality of claim attributes that are more strongly correlated to actual replacement parts corresponding to the plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims than are other attributes of the plurality of claim attributes, andthe historical claim data including deformation data of the plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims, respective indications of the actual replacement parts of the plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims, and a plurality of other claim attributes of the plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims; and
an output interface via which the generated, respective indications of the one or more replacement parts are provided to at least one of the network interface or a user interface.

Abstract
An image processing system includes a first image processor that creates a composite 3-D image or model of a damaged vehicle from a plurality of 2-D images of the damaged vehicle. The first image processor or another image processor of the system generates deformation data that is indicative or descriptive of points/areas of damage on the vehicle based on a comparison of the composite 3-D image/model with a 3-D image/model of a pristine vehicle. Based on the deformation data, a deformation model component generates indications of replacement parts and/or other items corresponding to repairing the vehicle by utilizing a model generated from historical claim data. Aside from receiving the initial set of images of the damaged vehicle, the system does not require any user input, and may generate the indications of replacement parts and/or other items corresponding to repairing the vehicle in real-time, such as at FNOL.

19. A method of image processing, comprising:
-
obtaining, via a network interface, a plurality of images of a damaged vehicle; constructing, by using a composite image generator component, a composite, three-dimensional image of the damaged vehicle from the plurality of images of the damaged vehicle; using a damage profile generator component to; compare the constructed, composite three-dimensional image of the damaged vehicle with a stored, three-dimensional image of an undamaged vehicle; and based on the comparison of the constructed, composite three-dimensional image of the damaged vehicle with the stored, three-dimensional image of the undamaged vehicle, at least one of generate a crush profile of the damaged vehicle or generate deformation data corresponding to the crush profile of the damaged vehicle; generating, by using a deformation model component and based on the generated deformation data, the respective indications of the one or more replacement parts needed to repair the damaged vehicle, the deformation model component including a deformation model generated from accessing, via an access mechanism, historical claim data of a plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims stored on one or more storage devices, and performing a regression analysis on the accessed historical claim data of the plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims to determine a subset of a plurality of claim attributes that are more strongly correlated to actual replacement parts corresponding to the plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims than are other attributes of the plurality of claim attributes, the historical claim data including deformation data of the plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims, respective indications of the actual replacement parts of the plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims, and a plurality of other claim attributes of the plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims; and providing, via an output interface, the generated, respective indications of the one or more replacement parts needed to repair the damaged vehicle to a recipient. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
