Abstract

A method for inspecting a vehicle, comprising capturing one or more segments of video of the vehicle comprising a plurality of parts, identifying, using one or more classifiers, one or more parts of the vehicle captured in the one or more segments of video, generating feedback related to capturing the one or more segments of video and displaying an interface comprising the feedback and video data being captured.

Claims (34)

1 . A method for inspecting a vehicle, comprising:

capturing one or more segments of video of the vehicle comprising a plurality of parts;

identifying, using one or more classifiers, one or more parts of the vehicle captured in the one or more segments of video;

generating feedback related to capturing the one or more segments of video; and

displaying an interface comprising the feedback and video data being captured.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback includes an overlay comprising a two-dimensional graphical representation configured to indicate which parts of the vehicle have been captured in the one or more segments of video.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the two-dimensional graphical representation comprises a representation of the vehicle or a representation of a generic vehicle.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback includes a graphical representation of the vehicle and a progress bar configured to indicate which parts of the vehicle have been captured in the one or more segments of video and a current location of the user device relative to the vehicle.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback includes an alert configured to indicate a request to a user during the recording of the video to change a distance or angle between the camera and the vehicle.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the request to change the distance or angle is based on identifying a region of interest on the vehicle.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback includes an alert configured to indicate a request to a user during the recording of the video to change a manner in which the user is moving the camera.

8 . The method of claim 1 , the processor configured to perform operations further comprising:

assessing, using the one or more classifiers, a state of the vehicle.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the state of the vehicle provides the basis for an estimated evaluation of the vehicle.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the state of the vehicle comprises a paint condition for one or more parts of the vehicle.

11 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

capturing audio data of the vehicle in operation; and

assessing, using the one or more classifiers, a state of the vehicle based on the audio data.

12 . The method of claim 1 , the processor configured to perform operations further comprising:

generating a request to the user to collect image data or video data of the vehicle after a first video clip is recorded of the vehicle at the user device based on the one or more segments of video.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback includes an indication to the user that a video clip being recorded by the user is to include an identifier specific to the vehicle.

14 . A computer program product for inspecting a vehicle comprising computer code to:

capture one or more segments of video of the vehicle comprising a plurality of parts;

identify, using one or more classifiers, one or more parts of the vehicle captured in the one or more segments of video;

generate feedback related to capturing the one or more segments of video; and

display an interface comprising the feedback and video data being captured.

15 . The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the feedback includes an overlay comprising a two-dimensional graphical representation configured to indicate which parts of the vehicle have been captured in the one or more segments of video, wherein the two-dimensional graphical representation comprises a representation of the vehicle or a representation of a generic vehicle.

16 . The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the feedback includes a graphical representation of the vehicle and a progress bar configured to indicate which parts of the vehicle have been captured in the one or more segments of video and a current location of the user device relative to the vehicle.

17 . The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the feedback includes an alert configured to indicate a request to a user during the recording of the video to change a distance or angle between the camera and the vehicle.

18 . The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the feedback includes an alert configured to indicate a request to a user during the recording of the video to change a manner in which the user is moving the camera.

19 . The computer program product of claim 14 , further comprising computer code to:

assess, using the one or more classifiers, a state of the vehicle, wherein the state of the vehicle provides the basis for an estimated evaluation of the vehicle.

20 . The computer program product of claim 14 , further comprising computer code to:

generate a request to the user to collect image data or video data of the vehicle after a first video clip is recorded of the vehicle at the user device based on the one or more segments of video.
