Computer vision marks likely dents, scratches, cracks and missing parts on each image, and compares them with the last recorded condition of the same vehicle to show what is new. A staff member confirms each finding with the driver or customer present where possible before any charge, claim or repair order, and confirmed images are kept with the vehicle record and used to improve the model."

# How can a fleet, rental or dealership business use computer vision to record vehicle damage at handover and return?

Start with one handover point, such as rental returns, fleet check-out or trade-ins, and fix how photos are taken, from a guided phone walk-around with set angles or a fixed camera lane. Computer vision marks likely dents, scratches, cracks and missing parts on each image, and compares them with the last recorded condition of the same vehicle to show what is new. A staff member confirms each finding with the driver or customer present where possible before any charge, claim or repair order, and confirmed images are kept with the vehicle record and used to improve the model.

## What this means in practice

- Start with one handover point.
- Fix the photo angles or camera lane used every time.
- Mark likely damage and compare with the last recorded condition.
- Have staff confirm findings before any charge, claim or repair order.
- Keep confirmed images with the vehicle record.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
