Abstract
Methods, systems, and techniques for utilizing image processing systems to measure objects, such as vehicles and damage to vehicles, include determining locations of waypoints within a source image of the object, reshaping a minimum area polygon that is defined by the waypoint locations to cover at least a portion of the depicted object within the image so that the reshaped at least a portion has an essentially uniform depth of field, and determining a warping transformation based on the reshaping. The methods, systems, and techniques further include applying the warping transformation to at least a portion of the source image to generate a warped image, and utilizing the warped image to measure areas of damage on the depicted object and the respective locations of the damaged areas, e.g., in conjunction with heat map and/or segmentation map of the source image, which may have been warped using the transformation.
