1. A method for automated estimation of vehicle damage, comprising:
receiving at an image recognition core plural images of a vehicle from different view angles;
using automated, computer-based image analysis techniques—
determining the presence of a vehicle of interest in the received images,
determining make and model of the vehicle of interest,
determining vehicle registration, and
determining vehicle orientation in the received images,

using computer-based object recognition techniques—
identifying a plurality of distinct panels on the vehicle,
identifying areas of damage on identified panels, wherein identification of damage comprises both extent of damage and depth of damage, and
determining absolute damage size for identified areas of damage, wherein determination of absolute damage size comprises homographic and allometric analysis of areas of identified areas of damage; and

applying pre-defined rules to the identified panels, identified damage and determined absolute damage size to generate a damage repair estimate.
