Three dimensional image scan for vehicle
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a plurality of three-dimensional (3D) images, wherein each image of the plurality of 3D images depicts a vehicle of a particular type;
calculating, by the computing device, a plurality of median points from the plurality of 3D images, wherein each point of the plurality of median points is a median of corresponding 3D coordinates from each of the plurality of 3D images;
generating, by the computing device and based on the plurality of median points, a 3D image of an example vehicle; and
responsive to determining that a vehicle is of the particular type, using the 3D image of the example vehicle to determine a characteristic of the vehicle.

Abstract
Systems and methods provide for an automated system for generating one or more three dimensional (3D) images of a vehicle and/or a baseline image for that vehicle. The system may receive 3D images of a plurality of vehicles of a same type (e.g., same make, model, year, etc.) and generate a 3D image of a baseline vehicle for vehicles of that same type based on 3D images of the plurality of vehicles of the particular type. The system may use a 3D image of the baseline vehicle to determine a characteristic of another vehicle, such as a modification made to the vehicle, damage to the vehicle, cost to repair the vehicle or replace parts of the vehicle, a value of the vehicle, an insurance quote for the vehicle, etc. In some aspects, the 3D images may optionally comprise 3D point clouds, and 3D laser scanners may be used to capture 3D images of vehicles.

12. A system comprising:
-
a mobile device; a three-dimensional (3D) imaging device associated with the mobile device; and a server comprising; a processor; and memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the server to; receive a plurality of 3D images, wherein each image of the plurality of 3D images depicts a vehicle of a particular type; calculate a plurality of median points from the plurality of 3D images, wherein each point of the plurality of median points is a median of corresponding 3D coordinates from each of the plurality of 3D images; generate, based on the plurality of median points, a 3D image of an example vehicle; and responsive to determining that a vehicle is of the particular type, use the 3D image of the example vehicle to determine a characteristic of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:
-
receive a plurality of three-dimensional (3D) images, wherein each image of the plurality of 3D images depicts a vehicle of a particular type; calculate a plurality of mode points from the plurality of 3D images, wherein each point of the plurality of mode points is a mode of corresponding 3D coordinates from each of the plurality of 3D images; generate, based on the plurality of mode points, a 3D image of an example vehicle; and responsive to determining that a vehicle is of the particular type, use the 3D image of the example vehicle to determine a characteristic of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
