An aerial image system may generate images of structures providing views that might otherwise be difficult to obtain. These images may be used to determine various characteristics of the structure, which may then be processed for a variety of tasks including product marketing, claim processing and post-claim analysis. The images may be analyzed by the aerial image system or by a ground-based processing system to determine the structural characteristics such as roof age, roof type and roof pitch. In some examples, image analysis techniques such as edge detection and contrast determination may assist in determining the requisite data. Additionally or alternatively, the processing system may direct or control one or more image capture devices to obtain desired images.

Image-based processing for products

Systems, methods apparatuses, and computer-readable media for analyzing vehicle accident claim information from a vehicle that is deemed a total loss, as well as historical data, to determine whether one or more parts from the vehicle are available for reuse is presented. In some examples, aspects may also relate to determining whether the parts available for reuse should be stored by the entity using the system (e.g., the insurance company) for future use in the repair of other vehicles, such as other vehicles insured by the insurance company, or should be sold. The determination to store or sell the part may be based, at least in part, on historical data of the entity.

Parts valuation and use

A system for a predictive claims computing platform may comprise a plurality of vehicles, a computing device associated with a repair facility, a network, and a server. The server may be configured to determine an insurance coverage type needed for repairing each vehicle in the plurality of vehicles, identify a location of the repair facility for repairing each vehicle, assign a standard amount to reimburse the repair facility for repairing each vehicle based on insurance coverage type and the location of the repair facility, transmit the standard amount to the computing device associated with the repair facility, receive from the computing device, a cost for actual repair of each vehicle after the actual repair for each vehicle has been completed, and adjust the standard amount to reimburse the repair facility for future repairs based on identifying a difference between the standard amount and the actual repair cost for each vehicle.

Predictive claims platform for managing repairs

Systems, methods, apparatuses and computer-readable media for analyzing vehicle claim information from a vehicle that is deemed a total loss to determine one or more parts that may be removed from the total loss vehicle for reuse is presented. In some arrangements, the parts identified for reuse may be identified prior to removal from the total loss vehicle and may be identified as available inventory and may include a future availability date. One or more repair shops may then request the parts available for reuse and the part may be reserved for that shop until it becomes available.
