Abstract:
A distributed vehicle documentation system uses multiple sensor systems to capture vehicle information and generate vehicle documentation. A sensor system may be a micro server in communication with a sensor and a control device. In response to requests from the control device, the sensor system may analyze images input in order to identify an object in the images, and modifying the images based on the identified object. For example, in response to identifying a wheel in an image, the image may be cropped in order to be centered around the identified wheel. In the event that the sensor system cannot identify the object (e.g., cannot identify the wheel in the image), another image may be obtained with a different field of view based on a determined size of the vehicle.
