  • Publication number: 20230316409
    Abstract: A method for determining damage caused to a property includes receiving a first image of an object, the first image being captured at a first time. The method further includes receiving a second image of the object, the second image being captured at a second time different from the first time. The method further includes determining that the object in the first image is a same object in the second image and aligning features of the object in the first image to the features of the object in second image. The method further includes determining at least one difference based on a comparison between the first image and the second image. The method further includes determining that the at least one difference indicates damage to the object that exceeds wear and tear depreciation damage based on an amount of elapsed time between the first time and the second time.
