Interior defect detection through vehicle glazing using multi-view motion analysis and asymmetric illumination
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.

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.

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.
