   The platform utilizes deep learning algorithms and computer vision techniques to analyze the uploaded images to detect and identify potential damages, including dents, scratches, cracks, or other visible issues to provide accurate damage classification and localization on the vehicle body.
3. Damage Severity Assessment:
   The AI model also analyzes the detected damages to assess their severity levels, assign severity ratings or scores based on predefined criteria, indicating the extent of the damage.
4. Reporting and Visualization:
   The platform also generates a comprehensive damage assessment report for each uploaded image or set of images which include details about the detected damages, their severity levels, and locations on the vehicle.
   There are also visual annotations or overlays on the images to highlight the identified damages.
