Abstract: Methods and systems for localizing numbers and characters in captured images. A side image of a vehicle captured by one or more cameras can be preprocessed to determine a region of interest. A confidence value of series of windows within regions of interest of different sizes and aspect ratios containing a structure of interest can be calculated. Highest confidence candidate regions can then be identified with respect to the regions of interest and at least one region adjacent to the highest confidence candidate regions. An OCR operation can then be performed in the adjacent region. An identifier can then be returned from the adjacent region in order to localize numbers and characters in the side image of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for parking occupancy detection comprises collecting video of a blockface with at least one video recording module, identifying a number of possible parking spaces along the blockface in the collected video, defining, a region of interest for each of the possible parking spaces, detecting a time dependent occupancy of the defined regions of interest for each of the possible parking spaces, and reporting the time dependent occupancy. Drift correction of the recorded video and ground truth comparisons of occupancy determinations may be provided.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for license plate relighting comprises collecting an image of a license plate, performing license plate recognition on the image of the license plate; calculating a confidence metric for the license plate recognition; and performing a shadow detection and relighting method if the confidence metric is below a predetermined threshold, comprising identifying a shaded region of said license plate, determining if the shaded region is actually shaded, and relighting the actually shaded region.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for calculating a by spot occupancy of a parking lot are disclosed. For example, the method includes receiving an indication of a triggering event, sending a query to receive a first image and a second image in response to the triggering event, receiving the first image and the second image, analyzing the first image and the second image to determine a change in an occupancy status of a parking spot within the parking lot and calculating the by spot occupancy of the parking lot based on the change in the occupancy status of the parking spot.

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.
