The insurance industry requires significant property inspection which is an expensive and slow proposition.
"TensorFlight helps insurance companies automatically analyse imagery to help make the process of evaluating imagery more efficient. For example, identify commercial buildings in imagery or residential footprints. This is important in use cases for: 1. Underwriting: Automatically pre-fill a quote such as square footage of the roof. Highlight areas to investigate for an underwriter that might be caused by potential building degradation. 2. Reinsurance: Get more detailed information about each property in a reinsurance policy or gain alpha while trading cat bonds. 3. Risk: Better understand exposure of your portfolio or monitor transient risks. 4. Claims: Automatically resolve simple claims such as a few tiles missing from the roof. Prioritize adjuster activity after a catastrophe like a hurricane."
Likely very sophisticated use of deep learning and convolutional neural networks.
Satellite, aerial and drone imagery.
Significant time, cost and speed savings are claimed.
