Abstract
A computerized exchange network enables verifying vehicle image alterations, such as altering images to remove objects from a background or to include indicia, for example. In some embodiments, a system for verifying image alterations is configured to acquire an image, alter the image, add the image to a website, and record the alteration and adding. In other embodiments, a method for verifying image alterations involves acquiring an image, generating an altered image, adding the image to a website, and recording the alteration and adding.
Claims26
A system for verifying image alterations, comprising:
- at least one front-end image acquisition device for acquiring one or more images of each of a plurality of vehicles, the acquired images each comprising a foreground displaying a selected vehicle and a background displaying one or more objects other than the selected vehicle;
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one front-end image acquisition device and configured for use in a distributed computing environment;
- and
- at least one computer-readable storage device coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one computer-readable storage device storing processor-executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the distributed computing environment to:
- receive the acquired images of each of the plurality of vehicles via the at least one front-end image acquisition device,
- generate an altered image from the at least one of the acquired images to be altered by altering one or more of the objects from the background thereof such that the one or more objects are not visible in the altered image,
- add the altered image to a website, and
- generate a log file in response to said altering and said adding, the log file recording each occurrence of generating the altered image and adding the altered image to the website for each of the plurality of vehicles.

A method for verifying image alterations, comprising:
- acquiring, by an image alteration computing device via a front-end image acquisition device, one or more images of a vehicle, the acquired images each comprising a foreground displaying the vehicle and a background displaying one or more objects other than the vehicle;
- generating, by the image alteration computing device, an altered image of at least one of the acquired images, wherein generating the altered image comprises altering one or more objects from the background of the acquired image, wherein the one or more objects are not visible in the altered image;
- transmitting, by the image alteration computing device, the altered image to a server computing device, the server computing device hosting a website by which the altered image is available via the Internet;
- recording, by the image alteration computing device, occurrences of altering the at least one of the acquired images and transmitting the altered image to the server;
- and
- generating, by the image alteration computing device, a log file of the recorded occurrences in response to said altering and said transmitting.

- and
- at least one computer-readable storage device coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one computer-readable storage device storing processor-executable instructions and an indicia file, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the distributed computing environment to:
- receive the acquired images of the plurality of vehicles via the at least one front-end image acquisition device,
- superimpose an indicia from the indicia file on at least one of the acquired images of the selected vehicle,
- generate an altered image from the at least one of the acquired images, the altered image including the superimposed indicia, wherein the indicia is visible without blocking the view of the selected vehicle in the altered image,
- add the altered image to a website, and
- generate a log file in response to said altering and said adding, the log file recording each occurrence of generating the altered image and adding the altered image to the website.

A method for verifying image alterations, comprising:
- acquiring, by an image alteration computing device via a front-end image acquisition device, one or more images of a vehicle, the acquired images each comprising a foreground displaying the vehicle and a background displaying one or more objects other than the vehicle;
- generating, by the image alteration computing device, an altered image of at least one of the acquired images, wherein generating the altered image comprises superimposing an indicia from an indicia file on the acquired image to be altered, and wherein the superimposed indicia is visible in the altered image on the background thereof without blocking the view of the vehicle in the altered image;
- transmitting, by the image alteration computing device, the altered image to a server computing device, the server computing device hosting a website via which the altered image is available via the Internet;
- recording, by the image alteration computing device, occurrences of altering the at least one of the acquired images and transmitting the altered image to the server;
- and
- generating, by the image alteration computing device, a log file of the recorded occurrences in response to said altering and said transmitting.
