    Abstract: The method facilitates efficient motion estimation for video sequences captured with a stationary camera with respect to an object. For video captured with this type of camera, a main cause of changes between adjacent frames corresponds to object motion. In this setting the output from the motion compensation stage is the block matching algorithm describing the way pixel blocks move between adjacent frames. For video captured with cameras mounted on moving vehicles (e.g. school buses, public transportation vehicles and police cars), the motion of the vehicle itself is the largest source of apparent motion in the captured video. In both cases, the encoded set of motion vectors is a good descriptor of apparent motion of objects within the field of view of the camera.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for bootstrapping an OCR engine for license plate recognition. One or more OCR engines can be trained utilizing purely synthetically generated characters. A subset of classifiers, which require augmentation with real examples, along how many real examples are required for each, can be identified. The OCR engine can then be deployed to the field with constraints on automation based on this analysis to operate in a “bootstrapping” period wherein some characters are automatically recognized while others are sent for human review. The previously determined number of real examples required for augmenting the subset of classifiers can be collected. Each subset of identified classifiers can then be retrained as the number of real examples required becomes available.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for tag recognition in captured images. A candidate region can be localized from regions of interest with respect to a tag and a tag number shown in the regions of interest within a side image of a vehicle. A number of confidence levels can then be calculated with respect to each digit recognized as a result of an optical character recognition operation performed with respect to the tag number. Optimal candidates within the candidate region can be determined for the tag number based on individual character confidence levels among the confidence levels. Optimal candidates from a pool of valid tag numbers can then be validated using prior appearance probabilities and data returned, which is indicative of the most probable tag to be detected to improve image recognition accuracy.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer-readable medium is disclosed for determining an estimated available parking distance for a vehicle via vehicle side detection in one or more image frames from an operational video. The operational video can be acquired from a fixed parking occupancy video camera and can include a field of view associated with a parking region. The method can include obtaining operational video from a fixed parking occupancy video camera; detecting, within a region of interest (ROI) of the one or more image frames from the operational video, a side of one or more vehicles parked in a parking region facing a traffic lane using a trained classifier that is trained to detect the side of the one or more vehicles; and determining an estimated available parking distance based on the side of the one or more vehicles that are detected.

    Abstract: A method for detecting parking occupancy includes receiving video data from a sequence of frames taken from an associated image capture device monitoring a parking area. The method includes determining at least one candidate region in the parking area. The method includes comparing a size of the candidate region to a size threshold. In response to size of the candidate region meeting and exceeding the size threshold, the method includes determining whether the candidate region includes one of at least one object and no objects. The method includes classifying at least one object in the candidate region as belonging to one of at least two vehicle-types. The method further includes providing vehicle occupancy information to a user.
