How AI is Revolutionizing Claims Management and Personalized Auto Insurance

Managing insurance claims is seen as a complicated and lengthy process. Insurance companies receive numerous claims daily, from vehicle accidents and medical expenses to property damage. Manually handling these claims can result in delays, errors, and fraud. We can use Artificial intelligence to simplify the process.

The Problem with Traditional Claims Management

When you make an insurance claim, here’s what usually happens:

  1. You submit your documents (medical bills, photos of damage, etc.).
  2. The insurance company reviews everything manually—a process that can take weeks.
  3. They assess your claim to determine if it’s valid and how much money should be paid.
  4. The claim is either approved or rejected.

While this process sounds straightforward, it’s full of challenges, such as:

  1. It’s Slow: Manually going through forms, photos, and receipts takes much time.
  2. It’s Expensive: Insurance companies need big teams to process claims.
  3. It’s Prone to Errors: Humans can make mistakes when reviewing claims.
  4. It’s Vulnerable to Fraud: Detecting fake claims is difficult without proper tools.

All these issues make it clear that insurance companies need smarter solutions—and that’s where AI comes into the picture.

How to label custom images for YOLO – YOLO 3

In this blog we will show how to label custom images for making your own YOLO detector. We have other blogs that cover how to setup Yolo with Darknet, running object detection on images, videos and live CCTV streams. If you want to detect items not covered by the general model, you need custom training.

In our case we will build a truck type detector. There are 4 types of trucks we will try to identify

Setup Yolo with Darknet- Yolo 1

We will explore YOLO for image recognition in a series of blogs. This is the first one. In this blog, we will see how to setup YOLO with darknet and run it. We will also demonstrate the various choices you have with YOLO in terms of accuracy, speed and cost, enabling you to make a more informed choice of how you would want to run your models.

Setup Yolo with Darknet

The content in the blog is not unique. However if you are starting with YOLO, this is the first thing you need to do.

How to build a Number Plate Reader – Part 2

In the previous blog of this series, we trained a model to identify a numberplate in a picture. Here we will learn how to use OpenCV and PyTesseract to get the final number from the plate.

We will start from where we ended in the last session. We had trained an ssd_inception model and used it Tensorflow Object Detection API to detect number plates.

How to make a custom number plate reader – Part 1

In this duology of blogs, we will explore how to create a custom number plate reader.

In this duology of blogs, we will explore how to create a custom number plate reader. We will use a few machine learning tools to build the detector. An automatic number plate detector has multiple applications in traffic control, traffic violation detection, parking management etc. We will use the number plate detector as an exercise to try features in OpenCV, tensorflow object detection API, OCR, pytesseract

How to run object detection on CCTV feed

In this blog we explore how to run a very popular computer vision algorithm YOLO on a CCTV live feed.

In this blog we explore how to run a very popular computer vision algorithm YOLO on a CCTV live feed. YOLO (You Only Look Once) is a very popular object detection, remarkably fast and efficient. There is a lot of documentation on running YOLO on video from files, USB or raspberry pi cameras. This series of blogs, describes in details how to setup a generic CCTV camera and run YOLO object detection on the live feed. In case you are interested in finding more about YOLO, I have listed out a few articles for your perusal at the end of this blog.

Setup a CCTV with RTSP

This blog lists out in details methods to setup a generic CCTV camera with a live RTSP feed. Note the RTSP url, as we will need it in the later stages. The RTSP (
