The interactive 3D rep- resentation is configured to minimize overall computing resources and processing time. Attributes of data items corresponding to surfaces and/or contents in the physical scene are extracted from the interactive 3D representation. Interactive verification of the attributes of the subset of data items is performed in the browser by: flattening a selected view of a ceiling, floor, or wall two dimensions; receiving user adjustments (if needed) to the dimensions and/or locations of the selected ceiling, floor, or wall; receiving user indications (if needed) of cutouts in the selected ceiling, floor, or wall; and updating the interactive 3D representation based on adjustments to the dimensions and/or locations, and/or the indications of cut outs.

The process of obtaining an insurance quote is currently based on information provided by filing online forms. Insurance companies use the consumer input data from online the forms to provide a quote for property insurance and for insurance underwriting. To complete the underwriting, the insurance companies have to make assumptions on various factors; for example, the structure and layout of a consumer's home, what type of content the consumer owns, its value, and its condition, among several others. It is desirable to get more accurate data on the consumer content, the structure and layout of the home, as well as other factors (e.g., hazards such as whether a house is on a canyon) in an automated fashion which would let insurance companies underwrite policies with a more accurate risk profile as well as save costs by not having to send an onsite inspector.

Disclosed is a method for using a virtual representation of an indoor environment to identify contents that have been damaged (e.g., by flooding). A virtual representation of a physical scene of an indoor environment is processed to identify a list of contents in the physical scene. The virtual representation may include 2-dimensional representations of the physical scene (e.g., images or video) or a 3-dimensional representation of the physical scene (e.g., 3D digital model). A reference line is determined in the virtual representation that is indicative of a maximum vertical extent of the damage in the physical scene. The position of the reference line is compared with the position of the identified contents in the virtual representation to determine contents that are likely to be damaged. For example, the contents that are at or below a plane represented by the reference line in the virtual representation may be identified as damaged. Show less
