  • Property damage estimator
    Patent number: 10692160
    Abstract: Systems and approaches for estimating damage to property are described. In one approach, a damage estimation device is activated using a mobile computing device. This damage estimation device may then automatically capture (e.g., using an imaging sensor) a plurality of images of the damaged property. The damage estimation device may then calculate at least one characteristic of the damaged property from the plurality of captured images and further calculate at least one characteristic of the damage to the damaged property from the plurality of captured images. A repair estimate may then be calculated based at least on the at least one characteristic of the damaged property and the at least one characteristic of the damage. This repair estimate may then be transmitted.
