Abstract

A method and system for detecting interior defects in vehicles through glazing without requiring door opening or interior sensor installation. The system captures multi-view images of vehicle window panes from spatially separated viewpoints during relative motion between vehicle and imaging device. Motion field data representing pixel displacement is computed and used to classify pixels into interior-origin pixels exhibiting apparent depth behind the window pane plane and reflection-origin pixels exhibiting apparent depth at the glass surface. An interior-enhanced image is generated through motion refocusing that sharpens interior textures while blurring glass-plane reflections. Optional asymmetric illumination and polarization provide additional reflection suppression. Transmittance compensation accounts for glazing tint and spectral characteristics. Defect detection algorithms identify interior defects including seat damage, missing components, and structural defects, with privacy-aware redaction of occupants integrated into the processing pipeline.

Abstract

There is provided a system for generating instructions for a generative model to present vehicle damage assessment. The system includes image sensors positioned at different heights and angles to capture vehicle images, a communication element for receiving images and accessing a stored model, and a processor connected to endpoint devices via a network. The processor generates instructional inputs combining damage severity classifications with vehicle images, sends these to the generative model, and obtains natural language elements for structural damage reconstitution. The system creates interactive presentations with populated template fields and classification selection elements displayed on endpoint devices. When users select different damage severity classifications in real-time, the system automatically generates new instructional inputs, obtains updated natural language elements from the generative model, and dynamically updates the presentation by replacing template fields. This enables real-time comparison of different damage severity assessments for the same vehicle damage using the same source images.

The processor controls the laser profiler to project laser beams onto vehicle surfaces, acquires optical images of reflected beams from the image sensor, and matches gap profiles from stored one-dimensional profiles to identify gaps. The system performs gap width and flush depth measurements and outputs anomaly detection signals when measurements deviate from predetermined target values. The system includes bias correction capabilities using empirically determined values and CAD-based target values for specific vehicle models. Dynamic adjustments are made based on vehicle color, with laser brightness optimized for surface reflectivity.

Abstract

A computer-implemented method and system for validating vehicle damage detection utilizes symmetry-based analysis of opposing vehicle sides. The method comprises receiving images from opposing sides of a vehicle, detecting a damage region in one image, and computing deep learning feature vectors for the damage region and a corresponding region in the opposite image. These feature vectors represent learned visual patterns that discriminate between damage and normal vehicle features. A similarity measure is computed between the feature vectors, and the detected damage is validated based on this measure. The system includes sensors for image capture, processors, and memory storing instructions to execute the method. This approach leverages vehicle symmetry to reduce false positives, compensate for environmental variations, and improve damage detection accuracy. The method can adapt to asymmetric vehicle positioning and varying environmental conditions, providing robust performance in real-world scenarios.

Abstract

A method and system for estimating dimensions of vehicle exterior defects using multiple cameras arranged in a predefined configuration. The method comprises receiving images from multiple strategically positioned image sensors including side cameras parallel to a vehicle height axis, diagonal cameras at an inclined angle, and roof top cameras perpendicular to the height axis. An angle to detected defects is computed based on image sensor parameters. Different distance calculations are applied based on vehicle section location, with specialized formulas for windshield, back window, and roof components. Defect sizes are computed by determining multiple defect dimensions, with at least one dimension being adjusted by an angular correction factor derived from the relationship between camera angle and vehicle surface orientation. The system implements comprehensive validation through cross-referencing between cameras, comparison with known specifications, and measurement consistency analysis across multiple frames.

Abstract

A vehicle inspection system that images and assesses an automobile or truck during a single passage through an inspection area. Undercarriage, tire, and body imaging assemblies activate at coordinated times to optimally capture photos detailing the vehicle underbody, wheel, and profile views. The system improves imaging precision through targeted illumination and sensor arrays tailored to respective inspection zones. A computational core synchronizes aggregate sensor output to amalgamate a comprehensive perspective of the vehicle with minimized throughput timing. Automated analysis then identifies any defects, wear, or damage across imaging clusters. The system facilitates expedited assessment to categorize large vehicle pool conditions via an integrated mechanics-free apparatus requiring only conventional operator access.

Abstract

There are provided a method of vehicle inspection and a system thereof, the method comprising: obtaining a plurality of sets of images capturing a plurality of segments of surface of a vehicle at a plurality of time points; generating, for each time point, a 3D patch using a set of images capturing a corresponding segment at the time point, giving rise to a plurality of 3D patches; estimating 3D transformation of the plurality of 3D patches based on a relative movement between the imaging devices and the vehicle; and registering the plurality of 3D patches using the estimated 3D transformation thereby giving rise to a composite 3D point cloud of the vehicle. The composite 3D point cloud is usable for reconstructing a 3D mesh and/or 3D model of the vehicle where light reflection, comprised in at least some of the plurality of sets of images, is eliminated therefrom.
