Abstract: Computer-implemented methods for reducing fraud by remotely verifying odometer mileage of a vehicle are described. Images of the vehicle's odometer and VIN can be obtained using a portable computing device and a tamperproof photo capture algorithm. The image of the odometer can be displayed to the user via an interface of the portable computing device alongside a prompt to manually enter an odometer reading viewed in the image. The captured images and manually entered odometer reading can be uploaded to a remote server. A recognition algorithm can be used to extract an odometer reading and a VIN number from the images. A confidence value representing a likelihood of authenticity of the vehicle's odometer value can be generated by comparing the manually entered odometer reading with the extracted odometer reading. The confidence value can be used to verify the odometer mileage of the vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying an odometer reading of a vehicle are described. Images of an odometer can be obtained and analyzed to verify authenticity of the images or assign a confidence value to each image representing a likelihood of authenticity of the odometer value. An insurance quotation can be provided based on the odometer reading and optionally the confidence value, such that a user can received discounted insurance for lower than average driving habits.
