Systems and methods for automated vehicle image acquisition, analysis, and reporting

A system for identifying damage to a vehicle and providing damage-related information to an interested party, comprising:

• a plurality of image capturing devices capable of simultaneously capturing image data of a vehicle;
• a vehicle inspection engine capable of
• receiving from the plurality of image capturing devices simultaneously captured image data associated with the vehicle;
• comparing at least a portion of the image data with previously stored image data associated with the vehicle;
• based at least in part on the comparison of the image data with previously stored image data associated with the vehicle, determining whether damage to the vehicle exist;
• and
• outputting an indicator of whether damage to the vehicle exists.

A computer-readable medium containing program code, comprising:

• program code for receiving simultaneously captured image data associated with a vehicle;
• program code for comparing at least a portion of the image data with previously stored image data associated with the vehicle;
• program code for determining whether damage to the vehicle exists based at least in part on the comparison of the portion of image data with previously stored image data associated with the vehicle;
• and
• program code for outputting an indicator of whether damage to the vehicle exists.
