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;
an access mechanism to the historical claim data; 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, by operating on 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, respective indications of one or more replacement parts needed to repair the damaged vehicle, the parts identifier component including an information identification model generated by 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 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; 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 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:
obtaining, via a network interface of an image processing system, a plurality of images of a damaged vehicle; generating, by using an image attribute extraction component of the image processing system operating on 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; generating, by using a parts identifier component of the image processing system, and based on the set of image attributes indicative of the damaged vehicle, one or more indications of one or more replacement parts needed to repair the damaged vehicle, the parts identifier component including an information identification model generated by performing 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, and the regression analysis 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; and providing, via an output interface of the image processing system to a recipient, the generated, one or more indications of the one or more replacement parts needed to repair the damaged vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
