Abstract: A method includes accessing a plurality of input images of a vehicle and categorizing each of the plurality of images into one of a plurality of categories. The method also includes determining one or more parts of the vehicle in each categorized image, determining a side of the vehicle in each categorized image, and determining a first list of damaged parts of the vehicle. The method also includes determining, using the categorized images, an identification of the vehicle; determining, using the plurality of input images, a second list of damaged parts of the vehicle; and aggregating, using one or more rules, the first and second lists of damaged parts of the vehicle in order to generate an aggregated list of damaged parts of the vehicle. The method also includes displaying a repair cost estimation for the vehicle.

Abstract: For a mobile node visiting a packet-switched wireless access network, said access network using a tunnelling-type micro-mobility protocol and a Quality of Service (QoS) routing protocol to route packet data to and from said mobile node, and comprising an access router to which said mobile node may attach, a mobility agent and a gateway, a method of configuring said access network to route packet data toward said mobile node which method comprises the steps of: (a) receiving in said access network a handover indication of said mobile node or a login request therefrom; (b) in response to said handover indication or login request computing a QoS route for said mobile node, which QoS route is useable to route packets between said mobility agent and said mobile node; (c) performing step (b) at a location in said access network remote from said mobility agent; and (d) transmitting said QoS route and said handover indication or login request from said remote location toward said mobility agent; whereby upon receipt

Abstract: In a heterogeneous network environment a method of selecting an access router (20) among a number of available access routers (20, 22, 24) for a group of mobile network nodes (14) attached to a mobile router (12), each access router (20, 22, 24) providing access to packet-switched resources in a respective network domain (26, 28, 30) and each mobile network node (14) having a desired QoS level at the network layer, which method comprises the steps of: (a) determining a group QoS level acceptable to substantially all mobile network nodes (14) in said group; (b) using said group QoS level to query at least one of said number of respective network domains (26, 28, 30) to determine whether or not it can meet said group QoS level; and (c) using a response from said at least one network domain (26, 28, 30) to decide whether or not to perform a network layer handover of said group of mobile network nodes (14) to one of said number of available access routers (20, 22, 24).
