Abstract
Systems and methods may incorporate machine learning techniques to evaluate the extent of damage caused to vehicles involved in an accident. The system will receive photos of a vehicle involved in an accident and retrieve data from a number of different sources and use the data to calculate the cost of repair for the vehicle. Data sources can include information of vehicles involved in similar accidents, information of similar vehicles involved in accidents, virtual reality models of vehicles obtained from a database provided by the manufacturer, etc. The system will continuously update machine learning algorithms by comparing calculated damage to actual repair costs and further update the appropriate databases.
