US 2014/0229207 A1 · DAMAGE ASSESSMENT OF AN OBJECT

Abstract

Systems and methods for assessing damage in a damaged object are disclosed. The method comprises receiving visual data of the damaged object by a computing system. The visual data is converted into at least one Multi-Dimensional (MD) representation of the damaged object. The method further comprises identifying a first set of characteristic points in the at least one MD representation of the damaged object. The first set of characteristic points includes at least one subset of characteristic points, and each of the at least one subset of characteristic points substantially corresponds to a portion of the damaged object. The method furthermore comprises determining at least one first set of contour maps of the portion of the damaged object using the at least one MD representation. Using the first set of characteristic points and the at least one first set of contour maps, the damage in the damaged object is assessed.

Dependent claims

A computer implemented method for assessing damage in a damaged object, the method comprising:

receiving, by a processor, visual data of the damaged object by a computing system;
converting, by the processor, the visual data into at least one Multi-Dimensional (MD) representation of the damaged object;
identifying, by the processor, a first set of characteristic points in the at least one MD representation of the damaged object, wherein the first set of characteristic points comprises at least one subset of characteristic points, and wherein each of the at least one subset of characteristic points substantially corresponds to a portion of the damaged object;
determining, by the processor, at least one first set of contour maps of the portion of the damaged object using the at least one MD representation of the damaged object;
and
assessing, by the processor, the damage in the damaged object using the first set of characteristic points and the at least one first set of contour maps.
