SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING ACCIDENT AUTOMOBILE REPAIR COST BY THREE-DIMENSIONAL STEREOSCOPIC MEASUREMENT AND METHOD AND METHOD FOR SETTING ESTIMATE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for estimating accident automobile repair costs by three-dimensional stereoscopic measurement in which the quantitative measurement of the shape of an accident automobile can be operated by using a three-dimensional stereoscopic measuring method, the estimation of the repair costs of the accident automobile can be simply operated, and accuracy can be obtained. ;SOLUTION: The shape data of an accident automobile are obtained by using a pointing device(PD) capable of three-dimensional positioning, and the irradiation of a laser beam, ultrasonic wave, or counter line pattern. The obtained shape data of the accident automobile and the shape data of a non- accident automobile are compared and synthesized so that the three-dimensional shape of the shape of the accident automobile can be restored. The damaged site of the accident automobile are quantitatively captured and specified from the restored three-dimensional shape of the accident automobile. Thus, body distortion or the like can be quantitatively captured in an estimation stage, and following estimate preparation can be quickly and exactly attained.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1999,JPO
