Systems and methods for light detection and ranging (lidar) based generation of a homeowners insurance quote
The following relates generally to light detection and ranging (LIDAR). In some embodiments, a homeowners insurance quote is produced based upon data received from a LIDAR camera. For instance, in some embodiments, a system: receives light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data generated from one or more LIDAR cameras; analyzes the LIDAR data to determine or identify one or more features or characteristics of a home; and generates an electronic homeowners insurance quote based upon, at least in part, the one or more features or characteristics of the home determined or identified from the LIDAR data.
1. A computer-implemented method of generating an electronic homeowners insurance quote, the method comprising, via one or more processors, transceivers, sensors, and/or servers:
generating light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data with one or more LIDAR cameras;
receiving the LIDAR data generated from the one or more LIDAR cameras;
analyzing the LIDAR data to determine or identify one or more features or characteristics of a home including a number and a size of rooms of the home; and
generating an electronic homeowners insurance quote based upon, at least in part, the one or more features or characteristics of the home determined or identified from the LIDAR data including the number and the size of rooms of the home.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , the method further comprising, via the one or more processors, transceivers, sensors, and/or servers, transmitting the electronic homeowners insurance quote to a mobile device of a customer via wireless communication and/or data transmission over one or more radio frequency links for the customer's review, modification, and/or approval.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , the method further comprising, via the one or more processors, transceivers, sensors, and/or servers, generating an electronic inventory of home features or characteristics including several features or characteristics identified from processor analysis of the LIDAR data.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , the method further comprising, via the one or more processors, transceivers, sensors, and/or servers, generating an electronic inventory of home features or characteristics including several features or characteristics identified from processor analysis of (i) the LIDAR data, and (ii) one or more additional sources of data, the one or more additional sources of data including: mobile device data and/or images; smart home sensor data and/or images; drone sensor data and/or images; vehicle sensor data and/or images; and/or smart infrastructure data and images.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the LIDAR data is received via wireless communication or data transmission over one or more radio frequency links.
6. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving preexisting architecture data;
creating baseline architecture data using the preexisting architecture data; and
combining the baseline architecture data with the LIDAR data to create an architecture profile; and
wherein the electronic homeowners insurance quote is further based upon the architecture profile.
7. A computer system configured to generate a homeowners insurance quote, the system comprising one or more processors configured to:
generate light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data with one or more LIDAR cameras;
receive the LIDAR data generated from the one or more LIDAR cameras;
analyze the LIDAR data to determine or identify one or more features or characteristics of a home including a number and a size of rooms of the home; and
generate an electronic homeowners insurance quote based upon, at least in part, the one or more features or characteristics of the home determined or identified from the LIDAR data including the number and the size of rooms of the home.
8. The computer system of claim 7 , the system further configured to, via the one or more processors, transmit the electronic homeowners or renters insurance quote to a mobile device of a customer via wireless communication and/or data transmission over one or more radio frequency links for customer review, modification, and/or approval.
9. The computer system of claim 7 , the system further configured to, via the one or more processors, generate an electronic inventory of home features or characteristics including several features or characteristics identified from processor analysis of the LIDAR data.
10. The computer system of claim 7 , the system further configured to, via the one or more processors, generate an inventory of home features or characteristics including several features or characteristics identified from processor analysis of (i) the LIDAR data, and (ii) one or more additional sources of data, the one or more additional sources of data including at least one of: mobile device data and/or images; smart home sensor data and/or images; drone sensor data and/or images; vehicle sensor data and/or images; and/or smart infrastructure data and images.
11. The computer system of claim 7 , the system further configured to, via the one or more processors, receive the LIDAR data via wireless communication or data transmission over one or more radio frequency links.
12. A computer system configured to generate a homeowners insurance quote, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a program memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the computer system to:
generate light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data with one or more LIDAR cameras;
receive the LIDAR data generated from the one or more LIDAR cameras;
analyze the LIDAR data to determine or identify one or more features or characteristics of a home including a number and a size of rooms of the home; and
generate an electronic homeowners insurance quote based upon, at least in part, the one or more features or characteristics of the home determined or identified from the LIDAR data including the number and the size of rooms of the home.
13. The computer system of claim 12 , wherein the executable instructions further cause the computer system to transmit the electronic homeowners or renters insurance quote to a mobile device of a customer via wireless communication and/or data transmission over one or more radio frequency links for customer review, modification, and/or approval.
14. The computer system of claim 12 , wherein the executable instructions further cause the computer system to generate an electronic inventory of home features or characteristics including several features or characteristics identified from processor analysis of the LIDAR data.
15. The computer system of claim 12 , wherein the executable instructions further cause the computer system to generate an inventory of home features or characteristics including several features or characteristics identified from processor analysis of (i) the LIDAR data, and (ii) one or more additional sources of data, the one or more additional sources of data including at least one of: mobile device data and/or images; smart home sensor data and/or images; drone sensor data and/or images; vehicle sensor data and/or images; and/or smart infrastructure data and images.
