How AI-powered 3D reconstructions are redefining vehicle inspections
What still sounds like the future today is already a reality for us: with Just Scan It 3D, we’re taking vehicle assessment to a new level — using 3D reconstructions as the foundation for augmented reality damage inspections.
Artificial intelligence enables the generation of photorealistic 3D models from simple photo or video recordings. These allow for virtual inspections with unprecedented detail: damages can be precisely marked, documented, and used for further processing.
Over the past few months, we have successfully completed initial pilot projects. Damaged vehicles were captured on video, converted into highly detailed 3D models, and enriched with additional information — such as affected components, type and severity of damage, or recommended repair methods. This creates the foundation for applying the technology in real-world scenarios.
To turn this promising technology into a scalable product, we are tackling several exciting challenges:
Even greater detail accuracy: 3D reconstructions should capture even the smallest scratches or dents with higher precision.
Accelerated processing: The conversion of video recordings into complete 3D models will soon take place almost in real time.
Improved robustness against surfaces: Vehicles, with their reflective coatings and transparent materials such as glass, are particularly complex objects. We’re working to make reconstruction techniques more resilient to these challenges.
The benefits are obvious: assessments can be carried out remotely, eliminating time-consuming travel, making appointments more flexible, and enhancing established processes such as video inspections through the added value of 3D technology.
A key advantage: the inspection takes place entirely virtually. Data is captured, documented, and processed directly — enabling seamless workflows in tomorrow’s claims handling process. This creates a digitally supported assessment process that delivers efficiency and quality gains for insurers, repair shops, and appraisers alike — and represents a decisive step toward fully digital claims management.
