3D Car Model Reconstruction via Mobile Camera

Abstract

   Nowadays, motor insurance is an insurance that all road users must have as a guarantee to protect life and property in the event of an accident from using a road vehicle. However, motor insurance often encounters problems in the process of vehicle damage evaluation to settle insurance compensation payments for the insured.
   Due to the limitation in an insurance company privacy which allows inspector to be able to evaluate only in the company affiliated facility and inspectors bias in assessing damages, the company and the insured can be exploited by the system. Therefore, the developer proposed a system for assessing car damage using a 3D model retrieval method, by converting the pre-insurance 3D model and the accident 3D model into a multi-view 2D image. Then, a 2D image obtained from the two models will be compared to determine the damage point of the vehicle and calculate the percentage of damage.
   The benefit of this development is providing supports in the initial damage assessment and reducing costs incurred from damage assessment. Moreover, the development can be applied for the use in medical technology through bone comparison to create artificial bone for the patient and further usage in other model such as telephone, shoes, laptop, or any objects which can be 3D modelled.
