Abstract
A method and system are provided for assessing damage to a structure. According to one embodiment, the method includes detecting one or more external parts of the structure from a video of the structure using a first machine learning (ML) module trained to identify in one or more frames of a video of a structure an external part of the structure. The method also includes using a second ML module, trained to detect and classify damaged regions of a structure from one or more frames of the video: (i) identifying one or more damaged regions of the structure, and (ii) classifying the one or more damaged regions based on damage types. The method further includes associating the one or more damaged regions and corresponding damage types with the one or more external parts, providing a respective vision-based damage estimate for each of the one or more external parts.
