11 Claims

1. A method of estimating dimensions of vehicle's exterior defects based on depth data, comprising:

using at least one processor for:

receiving at least one image captured by at least one image sensor deployed to depict at least one vehicle;

receiving at least one 3 dimensional (3D) image captured by at least one depth sensor deployed to depict the at least one vehicle;

registering the at least one 3D image to the at least one image;

analyzing the at least one image to identify at least one defect in an exterior of the at least one vehicle;

extracting from the at least one 3D image a distance to the at least one defect; and

computing a real-world size of at least one dimension of the at least one defect based on the size in pixels of the at least one dimension and the distance.
