Degould Auto-Scanner AI: intelligent image analysis system for vehicle inspection

德古尔德是一家屡获殊荣的创新工程公司，专注于车辆图像的捕获和数字化，以支持整个汽车供应链的损害责任分配。他们希望显着增强他们目前的成像系统，并将其开发成一种用于车辆质量评估的智能检测技术。该项目旨在开发一种基于人工智能(AI)的创新技术，以改善他们的服务提供，以及创建新的产品供应。自动扫描仪AI将使用开发的人工智能技术，应用于更轻的框架，更实惠和“直通”的硬件解决方案，使德古尔德能够扩大其提供的服务，并为汽车租赁业务创造价值。德古尔德拥有强大的开发团队，正确的合作伙伴关系和强大的市场吸引力，解决方案既来自他们现有的客户(OEM/POST)，也来自表达了明显需要这一创新的租赁企业的密切联系和兴趣。德古尔德最初计划在英国的一家OEM安装自动紧凑型产品，以测试该系统的能力和性能与传统质量控制技术的对比。由于最近的全球环境，新汽车行业今年面临着重大问题，并将在未来几个月继续这样做。这导致拟议的合作伙伴不再能够在Innovate UK项目的时间表上安装DeGould系统。因此，德古尔德希望将该项目的测试阶段转移到二手车行业，并在Smart Fleet Solutions设施进行测试。这将具有与拟议的OEM之一类似的吞吐量，但由于二手车行业的性质，我们收集的数据将在损坏数据中更丰富，这将对用于单个图像的机器学习和人工智能算法有很大帮助。

DeGould is an award-winning innovative engineering company focused on capture and digitalisation of vehicle image to support damage liability assignment throughout the automotive supply-chain. They are looking to significantly enhance their current imaging system and develop it into an intelligent inspection technology for vehicle quality assessment. This project aims to develop an innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI) based technology to improve their service offering, as well as create a new product offer. The Auto-Scanner AI will use the developed AI technology, applied in a lighter-frame, more affordable and "drive through" hardware solution, enable Degould to expand its offer and create value to car rental businesses.DeGould has a strong development team, the right partnerships in place and strong market pull for the solution both from their current clients (OEMs/Posts) but also close contact and interest from rental businesses that expressed a clear need for this innovation.DeGould initially planned on installing the Auto-Compact product at a British OEM to test the capability and performance of the system against the traditional quality control techniques. Due to recent global circumstances the new car industry has faced major issues this year and is continuing to do so in the coming months. This has led to the proposed partners are no longer able to install the DeGould system in the timeline of the Innovate UK project. DeGould therefore wishes to transfer the testing phase of the project to the used car industry and test at Smart Fleet Solutions facility. This will have a similar throughput to one of the proposed OEM's but due to the nature of the used car industry the data we collect will be richer in damage data which will significantly help the machine learning and AI algorithms which are used on the individual images.
