Abstract: The present invention relates to the determination of repair operations for a damaged vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to determining repair operations, for example whether to repair or replace parts of a damaged vehicle and associated labour time required, for a damaged vehicle using images of the damage to the vehicle, using domain confusion loss techniques. Aspects and/or embodiments seek to provide a computer-implemented method for determining repair operations that are required to repair a damaged vehicle, using images of the damage to the damaged vehicle and domain confusion loss techniques.

Abstract: The present invention relates to verification of damage to vehicles. More particularly, the present invention relates to a universal approach to automated generation of a damage estimate to a vehicle using images of the vehicle and verification of a manually-generated damage repair proposals using the automatically generated damage estimate. Aspects and/or embodiments seek to provide a computer-implemented method of generating one or more repair estimates from one or more photos of a damaged vehicle and comparing the generated estimate(s) to one or more input repair estimates to verify the one or more input repair estimates.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the determination of damage to portions of a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to determining damage to auxiliary parts of a vehicle from images of the damage to the vehicle. Aspects and/or embodiments seek to provide a computer-implemented method for determining damage to auxiliary parts of a vehicle using images of the damage to the vehicle.

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 preserving the quality of the input images of the damage to the vehicle. 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 preserving the quality and/or resolution of the images of the damaged vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the determination of damage to portions of a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to determining whether determined damage to a vehicle is consistent with information provided as to the cause of the damage to the vehicle. Aspects and/or embodiments seek to provide a computer-implemented method for determining whether damage to a vehicle, which is determined using images of the damage to the vehicle, is consistent with information documenting the cause of the damage to the vehicle, for example insurance claim data or repair shop proposed repair 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.
