Abstract: The present invention relates to the determination of painting requirements for damaged vehicles. More particularly, the present invention relates to determining paint materials and/or operations required to repair a damaged vehicle using images of the damaged vehicle. Aspects and/or embodiments seek to provide a computer-implemented method of generating one or more estimates for painting required to a damaged vehicle from one or more photos of a damaged vehicle, including paint operations and/or materials required.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the determination of damage to portions of a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to determining whether each part of a vehicle should be classified as damaged or undamaged and optionally the severity of the damage to each part of the damaged vehicle including segmenting the input images. Aspects and/or embodiments seek to provide a computer-implemented method for determining damage states of each part of a damaged vehicle, indicating whether each part of the vehicle is damaged or undamaged and optionally the severity of the damage to each part of the damaged vehicle, using images of the damage to the vehicle and trained models to assess the damage indicated in the images of the damaged vehicle, including performing segmentation of the images to create richer input data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to assessing the damage and repairs needed to damaged vehicles. More particularly, the present invention relates to assessing vehicle damage using primarily photos of damaged vehicles and information provided by drivers or insurers, to determine whether vehicle body parts to be replaced or repaired require paint blending. Aspects and/or embodiments seek to provide a method and system to determine whether a part of a damaged vehicle requires paint blending.
