Popis: In the realm of automobile insurance, the imperative of automating car damage evaluation has surged, offering streamlined assessment processes and heightened accuracy. Deep learning techniques have notably influenced vehicle damage assessment, reshaping insurance procedures. However, the primary challenge remains in crafting robust models for damage detection and segmentation. This study presents a novel contribution through the development of the Vehicle Damage Detection (VehiDE) dataset, specifically tailored for comprehensive car damage assessment. The dataset, encompassing 13,945 high-resolution images annotated across eight damage categories, serves as a foundational resource for advancing automated damage identification methodologies. Notably, VehiDE offers support for multiple tasks, including classification, object detection, instance segmentation, and salient object detection, thereby fostering versatile research avenues. Through extensive experimental analysis, including the evaluation of state-of-the-art methodologies on VehiDE, this study not only highlights the dataset's efficacy but also unveils new insights into the challenging nature of car damage assessment. Moreover, the study pioneers the exploration of salient object detection techniques in this domain, showcasing their potential in addressing irregular damage types. By offering VehiDE to the research community, we aim to catalyze advancements in the field of car damage assessment, paving the way for more accurate and efficient automated systems.
