Patent attributes
The present invention provides a computer-based method for automatically evaluating validity and extent of at least one damaged object from image data, comprising the steps of: (a) receive image data comprising one or more images of at least one damaged object; (b) inspect any one of said one or more images for existing image alteration utilising an image alteration detection algorithm, and remove any image comprising image alterations from said one or more images; (c) identify and classify said at least one damaged object in any one of said one or more images, utilising at least one first machine learning algorithm; (d) detect at least one damaged area of said classified damaged object, utilising at least one second machine learning algorithm; (e) classify, quantitatively and/or qualitatively, an extent of damage of said at least one damaged area, utilising at least one third machine learning algorithm, and characteristic information of said damaged object and/or an undamaged object that is at least equivalent to said at least one damaged object; (f) provide a visual marker to said detected at least one damaged area in any one of said at least one or more images; (g) generate a predictive analysis to repair and/or replace said at least one damaged object, utilising a fourth machine learning algorithm and said classified extent of damage of the detected said at least one damaged area.
