Abstract:

Systems and methods for analyzing documentation for assessing potential fraudulent user submissions are provided. According to certain aspects, a server computer may receive an initial set of documentation descriptive of damage to a property asset, and may analyze the initial set of documentation to determine whether additional documentation is needed. The server computer may initiate a communication channel with a user device via which the additional documentation may be submitted, and the server computer may similarly analyze the additional documentation to determine a likelihood of fraud. The server computer may process the user submission accordingly.

Abstract:

A video analytics based image verification system for obtaining initial vehicle profiles is presented. The system may include an external processing server that receives a location of a vehicle and proximate traffic information to determine whether it is safe for a user to obtain an initial vehicle profile. The external processing server may further determine first and second profile features from video data indicative of the vehicle. The external processing server may compare the second profile feature to an image verification indicator to generate an image verification score. A provider server may receive the first profile feature and the image verification score from the external processing server, and update a risk evaluation to include the initial vehicle profile if the image verification score is above an image verification threshold.

G06Q 40/08

Abstract:

A gate-based vehicle image capture system for analyzing vehicle image data is presented. The system may include a portable imaging gate apparatus configured to capture vehicle image data of a vehicle. The portable imaging gate apparatus may include a plurality of imaging assemblies positioned at a plurality of viewing angles. The system may further include an external processing server configured to receive the vehicle image data from the portable imaging gate apparatus. The external processing server may also analyze the vehicle image data to identify a plurality of vehicle features, and determine a first vehicle feature from the plurality of vehicle features. The first vehicle feature may be related to a vehicle incident. The system may also include a provider server configured to receive the first vehicle feature from the external processing server, and update an aspect of a risk evaluation based on the first vehicle feature.
