Abstract

An insurance data gathering process contingent upon dynamically captured image and informatics sensor data. The captured image data may be used to facilitate rapid insurance-related decisions. In regards to a decision to be rendered for a property insurance policy, at least one image is retrieved associated with the property. One or more accounts associated with the insured are identified and one or more risks characteristics are identified regarding the insured. An aggregated dataset is provided from the at least one image, one or more accounts and risk characteristics associated with the insured. Predictive analysis is performed on the aggregated dataset to render a risk profile for the insured regarding an insurance policy for the property. A decision is rendered regarding the insured and the insurance policy based at least in-part upon the rendered risk profile.

Claims (48)

1. A system, comprising:

at least two cameras;

a structural sensor device;

one or more processors; and

a computer-readable storage device coupled to the one or more processors, the at least two cameras, and the structural sensor device, and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for generating and analyzing a three-dimensional model representative of a property, the operations comprising:

receiving, from the at least two cameras, a plurality of images of a property;

receiving, from the structural sensor device, structural condition data relating to one or more structural conditions of the property;

performing, via the one or more processors, object recognition on the plurality of images to identify features of the property;

generating, via the one or more processors, with the plurality of images of the property and the structural condition data, the three-dimensional model of the property that includes visual indications of the features of the property;

generating, via the one or more processors, a prediction model based upon the three-dimensional model, by training the prediction model with training data comprising:

input data mirroring a form of input data to be subsequently entered into the model; and

output data mirroring a form of output data pertaining to the property to be subsequently output by the prediction model;

performing, via the one or more processors, analysis through the prediction model to identify risk characteristics for the property and a peril that may occur at the property, predicted by the prediction model, based at least in part upon the training data and the features of the property and based upon an occurrence of the peril, the peril comprising an earthquake or hurricane; and

transmitting, via the one or more processors, the three-dimensional model and the identified risk characteristics for the property to a user device for display.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the images of the property includes an elevation view of the property, an aerial view of the property, or a facade view of the property.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user device is a smartphone device.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the features of the property include exterior construction features of the property.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the features of the property include proximity indication of nature elements relative to the property.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise: sending an alert to a third party based on the identified risk characteristics.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein risk characteristics are further identified based on an occurrence of the peril predicted by the prediction model.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for generating and analyzing a three-dimensional model representative of a property, the operations comprising:

receiving, from at least two cameras, a plurality of images of a property;

receiving, from a structural sensor device, structural condition data relating to one or more structural conditions of the property;

performing object recognition on the plurality of images to identify features of the property;

generating, with the plurality of images of the property and the structural condition data, the three-dimensional model of the property that includes visual indications of the features of the property;

generating a prediction model based upon the three-dimensional model, by training the prediction model with training data comprising:

input data mirroring a form of input data to be subsequently entered into the model; and

output data mirroring a form of output data pertaining to the property to be subsequently output by the prediction model;

performing analysis through the prediction model to identify risk characteristics for the property and a peril that may occur at the property, predicted by the prediction model, based at least in part upon the training data and the features of the property and based upon an occurrence of the peril, the peril comprising an earthquake or hurricane; and

transmitting the three-dimensional model and the identified risk characteristics for the property to a user device for display.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the images of the property includes an elevational view of the property, an aerial view of the property, or a facade view of the property.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the user device is a smartphone device.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the features of the property include exterior construction features of the property.

12. A computer-implemented method for generating and analyzing a three-dimensional model representative of a property, the method being executed by one or more processors and comprising:

receiving, from at least two cameras, a plurality of images of a property;

receiving, from a structural sensor device, structural condition data relating to one or more structural conditions of the property;

performing object recognition on the plurality of images to identify features of the property;

generating, with the plurality of images of the property and the structural condition data, the three-dimensional model of the property that includes visual indications of the features of the property;

generating a prediction model based upon the three-dimensional model, by training the prediction model with training data comprising:

input data mirroring a form of input data to be subsequently entered into the model; and

output data mirroring a form of output data pertaining to the property to be subsequently output by the prediction model;

performing analysis through the prediction model to identify risk characteristics for the property and a peril that may occur at the property, predicted by the prediction model, based at least in part upon the training data and the features of the property and based upon an occurrence of the peril, the peril comprising an earthquake or hurricane; and

transmitting the three-dimensional model and the identified risk characteristics for the property to a user device for display.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the features of the property include proximity indication of nature elements relative to the property.

14. The method of claim 12 further comprising, sending an alert to a third party based on the identified risk characteristics.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the images of the property includes an elevation view of the property, an aerial view of the property, or a facade view of the property.

16. The system of claim 5 , wherein the nature elements comprise a tree and the proximity indication comprises a proximity indication of the tree relative to a roof of the property.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the nature elements comprise a tree and the proximity indication comprises a proximity indication of the tree relative to a roof of the property.
