Image processing system for vehicle damage
First Claim
1. An image processing system, comprising:
- one or more data storage devices comprising non-transitory, tangible computer-readable media storing thereon historical claim data of a plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims, the historical claim data including a plurality of claim attributes including image attribute data of the plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims, respective indications of 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
one or more computing devices comprising;
a network interface via which a plurality of images of a damaged vehicle is received;
an image attribute extraction component configured to generate, using the plurality of images of the damaged vehicle, a set of image attributes indicative of a content of at least some of the plurality of images of the damaged vehicle, the set of image attributes including one or more image attribute types and respective values of the one or more image attribute types;
a parts identifier component configured to generate, based on the set of image attributes indicative of the damaged vehicle and an information identification model, respective indications of one or more replacement parts needed to repair the damaged vehicle;
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; and
a model generation component configured to utilize an access mechanism to access the historical claim data;
perform a regression analysis on the accessed historical claim data to determine a subset of a plurality of image 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;
create the information identification model, the information identification model having one or more independent variables corresponding to the subset of the plurality of image attributes that are more strongly correlated to the actual replacement parts corresponding to the plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims than are the other attributes of the plurality of claim attributes; and
store the created information identification model at the one or more data storage devices or another one or more data storage devices.

Abstract
An image processing system automatically processes a plurality of images of a damaged vehicle and determines replacements parts that are needed to repair the vehicle therefrom. The system includes a network interface via which the images are received, an image extraction component that generates a set of image attributes from the received images, a parts identifier component that generates indications of the needed replacement parts based on the image attributes and an information identification model, and an output interface via which the generated indications are provided. Additionally, the system includes a data storage entity storing data from multiple historical vehicle insurance claims, and a model generation component that generates the information identification model based on the historical claim data. The information identification model includes independent variable(s) corresponding to a set of image attributes that are more strongly correlated to replacement parts than are other attributes of the historical claim data.

21. A method of image processing, comprising:
-
creating, by using a model generation component of an image processing system, an information identification model, including utilizing the model generation component to perform a regression analysis on historical claim data of a plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims, the historical claim data including a plurality of claim attributes including image attribute data of the plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims, respective indications of 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, the regression analysis to determine a subset of a plurality of image attributes that are more strongly correlated to actual replacement parts corresponding to a plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims than are other attributes of a plurality of claim attributes, the information identification model having one or more independent variables corresponding to the subset of the plurality of image attributes that are more strongly correlated to the actual replacement parts corresponding to the plurality of historical vehicle insurance claims than are the other attributes of the plurality of claim attributes; storing the information identification model at one or more data storage devices of the image processing system; obtaining, via a network interface of the image processing system, a plurality of images of a damaged vehicle; generating, by using an image attribute extraction component of the image processing system, a set of image attributes from the plurality of images of the damaged vehicle, the set of image attributes indicative of a content of at least some of the plurality of images of the damaged vehicle, and the set of image attributes including one or more image attribute types and respective values of the one or more image attribute types; generating, by using a parts identifier component of the image processing system, and based on the set of image attributes and the stored information identification model, one or more indications of one or more replacement parts needed to repair the damaged vehicle; and providing, via an output interface of the image processing system, the generated, one or more indications of the one or more replacement parts needed to repair the damaged vehicle to a recipient. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
