Methods and system for guiding user data capture during a scan of a vehicle using a mobile device are disclosed. A user may scan a vehicle using a camera or other sensors of the mobile device to capture data from which a three-dimensional virtual model may be generated. During the scanning process, models may be generated and evaluated according to quality metrics. Visual cues may be determined and presented to the user during scanning to indicate areas sufficiently scanned or areas requiring additional scanning to meet data quality requirements for model generation. Damage to vehicle components may be identified by analysis of the generated model, and addition data capture or user annotation entry may be directed based upon the identified damage.

An autonomous vehicle (AV) including a vehicle body, and a vehicle computing device is provided. The vehicle computing device includes a processor in communication with a memory device. The processor is configured to identify a time and a geographic location of a traffic collision involving the AV, retrieve map data and contextual data associated with the time and the geographic location of the traffic collision, retrieve vehicle telematics data collected by sensors coupled to the vehicle body, determine for each of a plurality of moments in time during the traffic collision a position and an orientation of the AV during the traffic collision, generate a simulation of the traffic collision including a representation of the AV based upon the map data, the contextual data, and the vehicle telematics data, and provide content to enable display of the simulation on a display device.

This application discloses methods, systems, and computer-implemented virtualization software applications and computer-implemented graphical user interface tools for remote virtual visualization of structures. Images are captured by an imaging vehicle of a structure and the captured images are transmitted to a remote server via a communication network. Using virtual 3D digital modeling software the server, using the images received from the imaging vehicle, generates a virtual 3D digital model of the structure and stores it in a database. This virtual 3D digital model can be accessed by remote users, using virtualization software applications, and used to view images of the structure. The user is able to manipulate the images and to view them from various perspectives and compare the before-the-damage images with images taken after damage have occurred. Based on all this the user is enabled to remotely communicate with an insurance agent and/or file an insurance claim.

Methods and systems for populating overlays within a virtual environment. An example method includes generating, by one or more processors, a virtual reality model of an overall region based upon a plurality of images captured of the overall region; accessing, by the one or more processors, a plurality of records associated with a property modeled in the virtual reality model, each of the records having an associated time stamp; generating, by the one or more processors, a plurality of overlays for respective ones of the plurality of records, each of the plurality of overlays having an associated time stamp corresponding to the time stamp associated with the respective record; and adding the plurality of overlays to the virtual reality model such that a time lapse rendering of the virtual reality model sequentially renders the plurality of overlays at times based on the time stamps associated with the plurality of overlays.
