AI-Powered Vehicle Image Verification for an Automotive Marketplace

A top-tier U.S.-based used car retailer (operating as McQueen Autocorp under NDA) transformed its image moderation process using a custom AI computer vision model. With over 600,000 vehicles sold annually and 120,000 images uploaded per month, the client needed an intelligent system to automatically detect inappropriate content and validate vehicle details. The AI solution significantly improved processing speed, accuracy, and platform reliability while reducing dependence on manual moderation.

Client Vision


The client aimed to:

  • Automate image moderation to handle large-scale uploads efficiently.
  • Ensure only relevant and safe vehicle images were displayed on the platform.
  • Cross-check vehicle details in images against user-submitted information.
  • Reduce manual moderation effort while improving accuracy and user experience.

The vision was clear — leverage AI and computer vision to create a scalable, accurate, and reliable image verification system.

Business Overview & Requirement

The client faced several operational challenges

  • High Image Volume: 120,000 vehicle images uploaded monthly, many containing inappropriate content.
  • Inefficient Manual Moderation: A 15-person team struggled to keep up with uploads, leading to slow review cycles and human error.
  • Discrepancies in Vehicle Details: Ensuring uploaded images matched user-submitted make and model was difficult without automation.

The client required a custom AI solution capable of

  • Automatically classifying car vs non-car images
  • Detecting inappropriate or irrelevant content
  • Validating vehicle details against submitted information
  • Continuously learning and improving accuracy over time

Comprehensive AI/ML Solution


Data Collection & Cleaning

Data Collection & Cleaning

Compiled an initial dataset of 1,500 labeled car images and non-car images. Cleaned and balanced the dataset to ensure high-quality model training.
Feature Engineering & Model Training

Feature Engineering & Model Training

Developed a custom computer vision model capable of:

  • Distinguishing car images from non-car images
  • Flagging inappropriate content automatically
  • Cross-referencing car make and model for validation
Human-in-the-Loop Workflow

Human-in-the-Loop Workflow

Implemented a system where images with model confidence below 80% were sent to human moderators for review. Feedback from human reviewers was used to retrain and improve the model continuously.
Integration & Automation

Integration & Automation

Notifications for flagged images were sent directly to the moderation team via Slack, integrating seamlessly into the existing workflow.
Human-in-the-Loop Workflow

Human-in-the-Loop Workflow

Implemented a system where images with model confidence below 80% were sent to human moderators for review. Feedback from human reviewers was used to retrain and improve the model continuously.
Continuous Learning

Continuous Learning

The model retrained periodically using corrected classifications and feedback to increase accuracy and adapt to new vehicle types or image patterns.

Challenges

High Volume Image Processing

Processing 120,000 images per month required a highly efficient AI model to maintain speed and accuracy.

Manual Moderation Bottleneck

The existing team was unable to scale, leading to delays and inconsistent approvals.

Content Safety

The existing team was unable to scale, leading to delays and inconsistent approvals.

Accuracy in Vehicle Validation

Cross-referencing make and model from images required precise computer vision algorithms and feature extraction.

Business Challenges

During the discovery phase, McQueen Autocorp’s team outlined several key operational bottlenecks:

Custom CV Model for Vehicle Classification
Trained to distinguish car images from irrelevant content with high accuracy.
Vehicle Detail Verification
Cross-checked vehicle make and model with submitted data to ensure correctness.
AI-Powered Content Filtering
Automatically flagged inappropriate or irrelevant images for review.
Continuous Model Training
Adaptive learning to enhance classification accuracy over time.
Human-in-the-Loop Feedback Loop
Incorporated human review for low-confidence predictions to improve model reliability.
Seamless Workflow Integration
Automated notifications via Slack improved moderation efficiency.
