One embodiment facilitates recognizing parts of a vehicle. A convolution module is configured to generate a convolution feature map of a vehicle image. A region proposal module is configured to determine, based on the convolution feature map, one or more proposed regions, wherein a respective proposed region corresponds to a target of a respective vehicle part. A classification module is configured to determine a class and a bounding box of a vehicle part corresponding to a proposed region based on a feature of the proposed region. A conditional random field module is configured to optimize classes and bounding boxes of the vehicle parts based on correlated features of the corresponding proposed regions. A reporting module is configured to generate a result which indicates a list including an insurance claim item and corresponding damages based on the optimized classes and bounding boxes of the vehicle parts.
