Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automating the process of mapping repair documents, published by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), to repair information provided in a repair estimate record. A baseline set of repair estimate records specifying one or more parts of a baseline vehicle and an associated set of repair documents specifying instructions for repairing the one or more parts of the baseline vehicle may be saved using a data categorization model in a mapping dataset. The repair documents associated with baseline set of repair estimate records which have been saved in the mapping dataset may then be used to automatically determine associations between another set of repair estimate records and corresponding repair documents.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises receiving an image of a vehicle having damage to a first exterior body panel; providing the image to one or more trained machine learning models that are configured to identify a first region of the first exterior body panel to be repaired and a second region to be paint-blended, when the second region contains a second exterior body panel of the vehicle other than the first exterior body panel, generating an exterior body panel repainting list that includes the identification of the first exterior body panel of the vehicle and the identification of the second exterior body panel of the vehicle; querying a repainting cost database using the exterior body panel repainting list; and receiving a repainting cost estimate from the repainting cost database responsive to the querying.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automating the process of determining non-reusable parts associated with replacement or repair of a primary part of a vehicle involved in a collision event. The primary parts to be repaired may be indicated in repair estimate record. Notably, replacement of some primary parts may require replacement of certain non-reusable parts (NRPs) that were not damaged during the collision event and are not identified as such. The method determines which NRPs are required to be replaced when repairing the primary damaged part by using repair documents specifying repair instructions for repairing the primary part. Further, the repair estimate record is updated to include the information related to the primary pars and their associated NRPs.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automating the process of cataloging repair documents published by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The method determines a corresponding service repair vehicle for the OEM vehicle associated with eh repair documents. Further, the OEM repair instructions are associated with the one or more vehicle parts of a service repair vehicle identified in a repair estimate record. The method of cataloging repair procedures from various OEMs utilizes standardized naming conventions a database structure for uploading individual documents.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus that improves automated damage appraisal includes analyzing one or more obtained images of property using a deep neural network with multiple hidden layers of units between an input and output and which has stored knowledge data encoded from one or more stored property damage images to identify the part of the vehicle that has sustained damage. Damage data on an extent of the damage in the identified part of the vehicle is determined using the deep neural network which has stored knowledge data encoded from one or more stored property damage images. The identified generic part of the vehicle is used to obtain a corresponding Part ID Code by using a parts dictionary. Part Qualifier information obtained using VIN information is then used in conjunction with the Part ID to obtain the OEM-specific part and then generate one or more repair lines for the repair estimate.

Damage data on an extent of the damage in the identified area of the property is determined using the deep neural network which has stored knowledge data encoded from one or more stored property damage images. The identified damaged part and may be used to determine one or more adjacent parts based on the vehicle information and the repair operation type.
