G06Q 10/00

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for augmented reality measuring of equipment. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes an image comparator to compare camera data with reference information of a reference vehicle part to identify a vehicle part included in the camera data, and an inspection image analyzer to, in response to the image comparator identifying the vehicle part, measure the vehicle part by causing an interface generator to generate an overlay representation of the reference vehicle part on the camera data displayed on a user interface, and determining, based on one or more user inputs to adjust the overlay representation, a measurement corresponding to the vehicle part.

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for augmented reality vehicle condition inspection. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes a location analyzer to determine whether a camera is at an inspection location and directed towards a first vehicle in an inspection profile, the inspection location corresponding to a location of the camera relative to the first vehicle, an interface generator to generate an indication on a display that the camera is at the inspection location, the indication associated with an inspection image being captured, and an image analyzer to compare the inspection image captured at the inspection location with a reference image taken of a reference vehicle of a same type as the first vehicle, and determine a vehicle part condition or a vehicle condition based on the comparison of the inspection image and the reference image.
