Abstract

An apparatus and a method for vehicle profiling. The apparatus includes at least a sensor, wherein the at least a sensor is configured to capture vehicle data of a vehicle, at least a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the at least processor, the memory contains instructions configuring the at least processor to receive the vehicle data from the at least a sensor, generate a graphic model of the vehicle as a function of the vehicle data, determine a vehicle status as a function of the vehicle data, classify the vehicle status and the vehicle data into one or more vehicle status groups and generate a vehicle report as a function of the one or more vehicle status groups.

Claims (45)

1. An apparatus for vehicle profiling, the apparatus comprising:

at least a sensor, wherein the at least a sensor is configured to capture vehicle data of a vehicle;

at least a processor; and

a memory communicatively connected to the at least processor, the memory contains instructions configuring the at least processor to:

receive the vehicle data from the at least a sensor;

generate a graphic model of the vehicle as a function of the vehicle data;

determine a vehicle status as a function of the vehicle data wherein the vehicle status further comprises a vehicle contamination status wherein the vehicle contamination status comprises an identification of a foreign substance that contaminated the vehicle;

classify the vehicle status and the vehicle data into one or more vehicle status groups; and

generate a vehicle report as a function of the one or more vehicle status groups.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the vehicle data comprises image data; and

the at least a sensor comprises a camera, wherein the camera is configured to generate the image data of the vehicle data.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the vehicle data comprises LiDAR data; and

the at least a sensor comprises at least a photodetector of a light detecting and ranging (LiDAR) system, wherein the at least a photodetector is configured to generate the LiDAR data of the vehicle data.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle data comprises user data, wherein the memory contains instructions further configuring the at least processor to:

receive the user data of the vehicle data from a user; and

generate the vehicle report as a function of the user data of the vehicle data.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle status comprises a vehicle measurement.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle status comprises a vehicle gate status.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle status comprises vehicle information.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the memory contains instructions further configuring the at least processor to determine the vehicle status using a machine vision system.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the graphic model comprises a three-dimensional (3D) model of an exterior of the vehicle.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the memory contains instructions further configuring the at least processor to generate a wash command as a function of the graphic model and the vehicle report.

11. A method for vehicle profiling, the method comprising:

capturing, using at least a sensor, vehicle data;

receiving, using at least a processor, the vehicle data from the at least a sensor;

generating, using the at least a processor, a graphic model of the vehicle as a function of the one or more vehicle status groups;

determining, using the at least a processor, a vehicle status of the vehicle as a function of the vehicle data wherein the vehicle status further comprises a vehicle contamination status wherein the vehicle contamination status comprises an identification of a foreign substance that contaminated the vehicle;

classifying, using the at least a processor, the vehicle status and the vehicle data into one or more vehicle status groups; and

generating, using the at least a processor, a vehicle report as a function of the one or more vehicle status groups.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein:

the vehicle data comprises image data; and

the method further comprises generating, using a camera of the at least a sensor, the image data of the vehicle data.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein:

the vehicle data comprises LiDAR data; and

the method further comprises generating, using at least a photodetector of the at least a sensor, the LiDAR data of the vehicle data.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving, using the at least a processor, user data of the vehicle data from a user; and

generating, using the at least a processor, the vehicle report as a function of the user data of the vehicle data.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the vehicle status comprises a vehicle measurement.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the vehicle status comprises a vehicle gate status.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the graphic model comprises a three dimensional (3D) model of an exterior of the vehicle.

18. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

generating, using the at least a processor, a wash command as a function of the vehicle report.
