DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example 1 In order to solve the problem in the prior art that claims fraud incidents cannot be effectively identified, which easily leads to damage to the interests of insurance companies, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for identifying claims fraud incidents.

[0026] The execution subject of the method may be various types of computing devices, or an application or application (Application, APP) installed on the computing device. The computing device may be, for example, a user terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart wearable device, or a server.

[0027] For ease of description, the present application embodiment takes the execution subject of the method as an example of a server to introduce the method. Those skilled in the art can understand that the present application embodiment takes the server as an example to introduce the method, which is only an exemplary description and does not limit the scope of protection of the claims corresponding to the present solution.

[0028] Specifically, the implementation process of the method provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 1a As shown, the following steps are included: Step 11, obtaining the accident image of the target accident case.

[0029] Among them, the target accident cases include accident cases to be identified whether fraudulent behavior exists.

[0030] In the embodiments of the present application, accident images of the target accident case can be obtained through the Internet traffic safety comprehensive service management platform (for example, the traffic management 12123 platform), trip recorders, etc.

[0031] In an optional implementation, considering that claims fraud incidents usually mainly include repeated claims at the same accident address, when the number of accident cases to be identified is large, in order to reduce the resource overhead caused by full identification and improve identification efficiency, Figure 1b As shown, the accident image of the target accident case can also be obtained in the following manner: Step 111, determining the accident location of each accident case to be identified.

[0032] The occurrence address includes the latitude and longitude information of the vehicle's location when the accident occurred.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, the accident address of each accident case to be identified can be determined through accident reports, GPS positioning data, EXIF ​​data of accident scene photos, accident alarm records, records of road monitoring systems or Internet of Vehicles data of the Internet of Vehicles platform.

[0034] It should be noted that the above-mentioned method of determining the accident location of the accident case to be identified is only an exemplary description of the embodiment of the present application and does not impose any limitation on the embodiment of the present application.

[0035] Step 112, clustering the accident cases to be identified according to the accident locations to obtain a plurality of case groups of the accident cases to be identified.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, each accident case to be identified is clustered according to the accident address, that is, the similarity of the accident cases to be identified is measured by the proximity of the longitude and latitude of the accident address.

[0037] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the latitude and longitude information of the accident location of each accident case to be identified, each accident case to be identified can be clustered based on the latitude and longitude information through a clustering method such as K-Means or DBSCAN. After clustering, each accident case to be identified is divided into multiple case groups, and the accident cases to be identified in each case group are relatively close in geographical location.

[0038] For example, suppose there are 6 accident cases to be identified, and the longitude and latitude of the accident locations are: Case 1: (39.9042, 116.4074); Case 2: (39.9043, 116.4075); Case 3: (39.9062, 116.5912); Case 4: (39.9834, 116.3155); Case 5: (39.9837, 116.4551); Case 6: (39.9040, 116.4075) After clustering, the above 6 accident cases to be identified can be divided into 3 case groups: Group A: Case 1, Case 2 and Case 6.

[0039] Group B: Case 3.

[0040] Group C: Case 4 and Case 5.

[0041] Step 113, taking a case group in which the number of accident cases to be identified is greater than a preset number threshold among the multiple case groups as a target case group, and determining the accident cases to be identified in the target case group as the target accident cases.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, a target case group whose number of accident cases to be identified is greater than the preset number threshold can be selected from multiple case groups according to a preset number threshold. Then, the accident cases to be identified in the selected target case group are defined as target accident cases.

[0043] For example, using the above example, assuming that the six accident cases to be identified can be divided into Group A, Group B and Group C, and the preset number threshold is 2, then it can be determined that the target case group in which the number of accident cases to be identified in the group is greater than the preset number threshold (2) is Group A. Therefore, the accident cases 1, 2 and 3 to be identified in Group A are the target accident cases.

[0044] Step 114, acquiring the accident image of the target accident case.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, when obtaining the accident image of the target accident case, the accident image of the target accident case can be obtained through the Internet traffic safety comprehensive service management platform (for example, the traffic management 12123 platform), a trip recorder, etc.

[0046] Step 12: Generate an accident description text of the target accident case based on the accident image.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the accident image, the image processing and feature extraction can be performed on the accident image through image processing technology (such as YOLO, FasterR-CNN, etc.) to obtain the target object information (such as vehicles, pedestrians), road environment information (such as traffic lights and road signs), and vehicle damage characteristics contained in the accident image; then, based on the obtained target object information, road environment information, vehicle damage characteristics, etc., the specific cause and process of the accident can be inferred through semantic understanding and scene reasoning. Finally, based on the inferred specific cause and process of the accident, a predefined template or text generation model is used to generate an accident description text.

[0048] Among them, the template style of the predefined template can be as follows: At {time}, at {location}, vehicles {vehicle A information} and vehicles {vehicle B information} had {accident type} due to {reason}, resulting in {damage condition}.

[0049] For example, taking the template style of the above-mentioned predefined template as an example, the accident description text generated by using the predefined template based on the inferred specific cause and process of the accident can be as follows: "On the afternoon of November 18, 2024, at the XXXX intersection in Dongcheng District, Beijing, a white sedan with license plate number Beijing A12XXX and a black SUV with license plate number Beijing B56XXX rear-ended each other. The traffic light was red when the accident occurred. The black SUV braked suddenly, causing the white sedan to rear-end, and both vehicles suffered minor damage." It should be noted that the above-mentioned method of generating an accident description text based on an accident image is merely an exemplary description of an embodiment of the present application and does not impose any limitation on the embodiment of the present application.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1c As shown, the accident description text of the target accident case can be generated by the following steps 121 to 122: Step 121, determining the vehicle subject, obstacle subject and background object of the target accident case according to the accident image.

[0051] Among them, the vehicle entities include motor vehicles directly involved in or affected by the accident, including small cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, etc.

[0052] The obstacle body refers to the object that causes the accident or has a direct impact on the vehicle in the accident, including dynamic obstacles and static obstacles.

[0053] Among them, dynamic obstacles: such as pedestrians, bicycles, electric vehicles, animals, etc.

[0054] Static obstacles: such as roadside guardrails, traffic signs, trees, potholes or construction equipment.

[0055] It should be noted that the obstacle bodies cited above are merely exemplary descriptions of the embodiments of the present application and do not impose any limitation on the embodiments of the present application.

[0056] Background objects refer to non-directly involved elements in the accident scene that provide environmental or condition information for accident description, including traffic environment, geographical location, weather conditions and time information.

[0057] In an optional implementation, the following steps (1) to (3) may be used to determine the vehicle subject, obstacle subject, and background object of the target accident case: (1) Perform image segmentation processing on the accident image to obtain a sub-image of the image elements contained in the accident image.

[0058] Among them, a sub-image refers to an image part extracted or segmented from an accident image that contains specific content or elements. In addition, each sub-image contains only one category of pixels (such as vehicles, pedestrians, roads); the position of elements in the sub-image is consistent with the original image, ensuring that the segmented elements can be correctly aligned in the original accident image.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, a deep learning model (such as DeepLab, Unet, etc.) can be used to classify and annotate the pixel-level content in the accident image so as to distinguish different elements or objects in the accident image and form independent areas or sub-images.

[0060] (2) Determine the label and location information of the subgraph.

[0061] The label of the sub-image is a semantic description of the pixel area category in the accident image, which is used to distinguish objects of different categories (for example, vehicles, pedestrians, roads, etc.).

[0062] The location information of the sub-image, including the location range of the target object in the sub-image, is usually expressed as a bounding box (BoundingBox) or a pixel outline.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the category labels can be pre-defined according to the task requirements, such as "vehicle", "pedestrian", "road", "tree", etc. Then, the accident image is processed using a semantic segmentation or instance segmentation model (such as DeepLab, Mask R-CNN) to output a category mask.

[0064] Among them, each pixel value of the category mask image represents the category to which the pixel belongs, for example: Pixels with a value of 1 represent "vehicles".

[0065] Pixels with a value of 2 represent "pedestrians".

[0066] Pixels with a value of 3 represent "road".

[0067] Finally, the category pixels in the sub-image are counted to determine the label of the sub-image.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, when determining the position information of the sub-image, the pixel coordinates of the target category can be extracted from the category mask image. For example, for the category "vehicle", all pixel coordinates with a pixel value of 1 in the category mask image are extracted. Then, a rectangular bounding box is determined based on the minimum and maximum coordinates of the target category pixels; and then the position information of the sub-image is determined based on the rectangular bounding box.

[0069] Alternatively, when determining the position information of the sub - figure, an image - processing tool (such as findContours in OpenCV) can also be used to extract the pixel contour of the target category from the category mask image. Then, the position information of the sub - figure is determined based on this pixel contour.

[0070] (3) Determine the vehicle body, obstacle body, and background objects of the target accident case according to the label and position information.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, when determining the vehicle body of the target accident case, the sub - figure with the label "vehicle" in the image segmentation result can be searched first. Then, according to the position information of this sub - figure, the vehicle closest to the collision point or the vehicle located in the road area is screened out as the vehicle body of the target accident case.

[0072] Similarly, when determining the obstacle body of the target accident case, the sub - figure with the label "obstacle" in the image segmentation result can be searched first, including roadblocks, guardrails, pedestrians, etc. Then, according to the position information, the obstacle that contacts the vehicle body and is close to the collision point is selected as the obstacle body.

[0073] Similarly, when determining the background objects of the target accident case, the sub - figure with the label "background" can be searched, including roads, traffic lights, buildings, etc. Then, the background information related to the accident scene is determined as the background objects.

[0074] Step 122: Generate the accident description text of the target accident case according to the vehicle body, obstacle body, and background objects.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, according to the vehicle body, obstacle body, and background objects, a predefined template or a text generation model can be used to generate the accident description text of the target accident case.

[0076] Among them, the template style of the predefined template can be as follows: [Time], [Location], vehicle [Vehicle A information] due to [Obstacle information] had [Behavior], resulting in [Accident type]. At that time, [Background object information].

[0077] For example, according to the vehicle body, obstacle body, and background objects, using a predefined template or a text generation model, the accident description text of the target accident case in the following form can be generated: "On November 18, 2024, at the crossroads in Dongcheng District, Beijing, vehicle A (Beijing A12XX) deviated due to avoiding the damaged guardrail in the middle of the road, resulting in a collision with vehicle B (Beijing B56XXX). The traffic light was red at the time of the accident, the road surface was wet and slippery, and the light was dim (night).

[0078] Alternatively, taking the text generation model as an example, when generating the accident description text of the target accident case based on the vehicle body, obstacle body and background objects, the accident description text of the target accident case can be generated based on the text generation model (for example, GPT, BERT and other models) and combined with the extracted information such as the vehicle body, obstacle body and background objects.

[0079] In an optional implementation, the accident description text of the target accident case may be generated according to the vehicle body, the obstacle body and the background object in the following manner: (1) Determine the explicit and implicit information of the target accident case based on the vehicle subject and the obstacle subject.

[0080] Among them, explicit information includes the distance information between the vehicle body and the obstacle body; implicit information includes the vehicle body's speed, collision angle, inertia, and the vehicle body's movement trajectory and state changes before and after the accident.

[0081] (2) Introduce pseudo-entities for the target accident case based on the vehicle subject, obstacle subject, and background objects.

[0082] Among them, the pseudo-entities include virtual vehicle pseudo-entities, obstacle pseudo-entities and background object pseudo-entities.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, taking into account that in actual applications, the target accident case may include some influencing factors that exist but are not directly observed, therefore, in order to ensure the accuracy of subsequent accident cause speculation and enhance the depth of accident reasoning, pseudo-entities can be introduced for the target accident case. These pseudo-entities may include virtual vehicles, virtual obstacles or virtual environmental changes to enhance the depth of accident reasoning.

[0084] It should be noted that when introducing pseudo-entities for target accident cases, any one or more of virtual vehicle pseudo-entities, virtual obstacle pseudo-entities and virtual environment pseudo-entities may be introduced according to actual needs.

[0085] When introducing a virtual vehicle pseudo-entity, we can first infer the possible vehicles in the nearby lanes based on the relative positions of the vehicle body and the obstacle body; or infer whether the vehicle body is disturbed by other vehicles based on the movement trajectory and state changes of the vehicle body before and after the accident. If it is determined that the vehicle body is disturbed by other vehicles, or it is inferred that there are possible vehicles in the nearby lanes, a virtual vehicle pseudo-entity is simulated for the vehicle body based on the deflection direction and acceleration change of the vehicle body, that is, the virtual vehicle pseudo-entity is introduced.

[0086] For example, based on the deflection direction and acceleration changes of the vehicle body, it is simulated that a "vehicle C" appears in the right lane of the vehicle body and causes the vehicle body to avoid it.

[0087] Similarly, when introducing a virtual obstacle pseudo-entity, the obstacle interference that the vehicle body may be subject to can be inferred based on the movement trajectory and state changes of the vehicle body before and after the accident. Then, a virtual obstacle pseudo-entity is generated based on the obstacle interference.

[0088] For example, a pseudo-entity "obstacle X" is inserted into the driving path of the vehicle body to represent possible fallen cargo, etc.

[0089] Correspondingly, when introducing virtual environment pseudo-entities, we can first determine the background changes that may exist but are not recorded in the accident scene of the target accident case, such as sudden weather changes (such as strong winds, strong light), traffic light failures, etc. Then, based on these background changes, generate virtual environment disturbance factors, that is, virtual environment pseudo-entities.

[0090] For example, a pseudo-entity “Red light signal delayed for 3 seconds” is introduced to indicate the potential confusion during the signal switching process.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, by introducing pseudo-entities, complex situations that may occur in the target accident case but are difficult to directly observe can be effectively simulated, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and rationality of the subsequent accident description text of the target accident case.

[0092] (3) Determine the cause of the target accident case based on the pseudo-entity and the explicit and implicit information of the target accident case.

[0093] In an embodiment of the present application, when determining the accident cause of a target accident case, multiple causal chains of the target accident case can be generated based on pseudo-entities, explicit information and implicit information of the target accident case; then, the accident cause probability under each causal chain is calculated respectively; finally, the causal chain corresponding to the largest accident cause probability is determined as the accident cause of the target accident case.

[0094] Next, with reference to examples, a specific implementation method for determining the cause of a target accident case according to a pseudo-entity and explicit information and implicit information of the target accident case in an embodiment of the present application is described: First, assume that the explicit information and implicit information are as follows: (1) Explicit information: Distance: The initial distance between the vehicle body and the obstacle body is 15 meters.

[0095] Collision point: The main body of the vehicle hits the right side of the guardrail.

[0096] (2) Implicit information: Speed: The vehicle speed of the main vehicle at the moment of collision was 48km / h.

[0097] Collision angle: The body of the vehicle hits the guardrail at an angle of 15°.

[0098] Movement trajectory: The vehicle body deviated to the right of the lane 3 seconds before the collision.

[0099] Inertia: The braking distance of the vehicle body is extended to 12 meters due to the slippery road surface.

[0100] Secondly, the specific information of the introduced pseudo-entity is as follows: (3) Virtual vehicle pseudo-entity: A "vehicle C" is generated in the right lane of the main vehicle, and it is inferred that the lane change behavior of "vehicle C" caused the main vehicle to avoid it.

[0101] The logic of introducing the virtual vehicle pseudo-entity is that the motion trajectory deviation and deceleration characteristics of the vehicle body are consistent with the avoidance behavior.

[0102] (4) Virtual obstacle pseudo-entity: A "dynamic obstacle X" is generated on the collision path of the vehicle body, presumably due to the fallen cargo causing the vehicle to deflect further.

[0103] The logic of introducing virtual obstacle pseudo-entities is because the vehicle body has an abnormal braking trajectory near the guardrail impact point.

[0104] (5) Virtual environment pseudo-entity: Simulate the delay in switching the state of a traffic light. Assume that a 3-second delay in the red light state causes the vehicle to make an incorrect judgment.

[0105] Logic: The status of the traffic light is related to the trajectory change of the vehicle.

[0106] Then, the following causal chain can be generated based on the explicit and implicit information of the pseudo-entities and target accident cases: Causal chain 1: Vehicle C changes lanes → the main vehicle avoids → braking is delayed.

[0107] Causal chain 2: Slippery road surface → increased braking distance.

[0108] Causal chain 3: Obstacle X impacts → Vehicle body hits guardrail.

[0109] Causal chain 4: Traffic light delay → vehicle misjudgment.

[0110] After that, the accident cause probability of each causal chain is calculated. For example, suppose the accident cause probabilities of causal chains 1 to 4 are 0.2, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.4, respectively.

[0111] Finally, the causal chain corresponding to the largest accident cause probability is determined as the accident cause of the target accident case. For example, using the above example, causal chain 4 is determined as the accident cause of the target accident case. In other words, the cause of the target accident case is that the vehicle subject misjudged the target accident case due to the delay of the traffic light.

[0112] (4) Generate the accident description text of the target accident case through the text generation model based on the accident cause, background objects, explicit information and implicit information.

[0113] In an embodiment of the present application, the cause of the accident, background objects, explicit information, and implicit information may be input into a trained text generation model to generate an accident description text for the target accident case.
