Systems and methods for onboard auto-inspection of vehicles using reflective surfaces

This invention describes a system where a vehicle has a camera mounted on it. This camera looks at special mirrors placed around the vehicle to capture images of its own exterior. A computer inside the vehicle then analyzes these images to find any damage or issues on the vehicle's surface and maps them onto a digital model of the vehicle.

Why it matters: The rapid evolution of AI-driven computer vision and 3D reconstruction algorithms since 2024 could significantly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of defect detection and mapping from complex reflective surfaces.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
