Claim 6:
7. A system for automated estimation of vehicle damage, comprising at least one processor communicating with at least one information storage device, wherein said at least one processor is configured to execute instructions retrieved from the at least one storage device, said instructions when executed by the at least one processor causing the system to:
receive plural images of a vehicle from different view angles;
use automated, computer-based image analysis techniques to—
determine the presence of a vehicle of interest in the received images,
determine make and model of the vehicle of interest,
determine vehicle registration, and
determine vehicle orientation in the received images,

use computer-based object recognition techniques to—
identify a plurality of distinct panels on the vehicle,
identify areas of damage on identified panels, wherein identification of damage comprises both extent of damage and depth of damage, and
determine 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

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