An automatic car damage scan for car damage typically involves using computer vision and machine learning techniques to analyse images or video footage of vehicles and automatically detect any visible damage. Here's a step-by-step process for an automatic car damage scan:

Image/Video Acquisition: Images or video frames of the vehicle are captured using cameras or other imaging devices. This can be done by stationary cameras in inspection booths or by mobile devices like smartphones or drones.

Pre-processing: The captured images or frames may undergo pre-processing steps to enhance the quality, remove noise, and improve the visibility of the vehicle's features.

Object Localization: Computer vision algorithms are applied to locate the car within the image or frame. This step helps in isolating the region of interest and reducing the search space for subsequent damage detection.

Damage Detection: Machine learning algorithms, such as CNNs, are trained to recognise and classify different types of car damage. The trained model analyses the region of interest to identify the presence of damage, such as dents, scratches, cracks, or broken parts.

Damage Assessment: Once the damage is detected, the system may assess the severity or extent of the damage. This could involve estimating the size, depth, or impact of the damage based on the visual cues available in the image or video.

Reporting and Alerting: The system generates a report or provides real-time feedback to the user, indicating the detected damage and its characteristics. This information can be used for various purposes, such as insurance claims, pre-purchase inspections, or fleet maintenance.

Dragate Pro (an Arch 360 scanner) is provided by Elscope Vision. It is an automatic automotive exterior inspection, which improves inspection effectiveness and reduces costs. It can detect damage to the vehicle body, such as scratches and dents.

An inspection report is generated automatically once the automobile drives over the arch scanner and the cameras record any body damage, such as dents, scratches, and other flaws. The client (vehicle owner) may study the report and select the necessary repairs.
