However, at the same time, the video audit method also increases a lot of labor costs for enterprises. For customers, unqualified videos need to be re-recorded, which greatly affects user experience. “In response to this situation, baidu was using visual technology, voice and data to support many years, to develop the function of video review, this function can let the customer to record the process of implementation have been recorded feedback, such as in the recording people out of the box or one no said to confirm terms, the customer will receive the prompt to the real-time To correct the problem with the lowest cost and impact.”

During the shooting process, the intelligent damage assessment function will prompt users how to make adjustments to complete the photo of vehicle damage assessment.
