    Abstract: Methods and systems for enhancing the accuracy of license plate state identification in an ALPR (Automated License Plate Recognition) system. This is accomplished through use of individual character-by-character image-based classifiers that are trained to distinguish between the fonts for different states. At runtime, the OCR result for the license plate code can be used to determine which character in the plate would provide the highest discriminatory power for arbitrating between candidate state results. This classifier is then applied to the individual character image to provide a final selection of the estimated state/jurisdiction for the plate.

    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 method for detecting a vehicle running a stop signal positioned at an intersection includes acquiring a sequence of frames from at least one video camera monitoring an intersection being signaled by the stop signal. The method includes defining a first region of interest (ROI) including a road region located before the intersection on the image plane. The method includes searching the first ROI for a candidate violating vehicle. In response to detecting the candidate violating vehicle, the method includes tracking at least one trajectory of the detected candidate violating vehicle across a number of frames. The method includes classifying the candidate violating vehicle as belonging to one of a violating vehicle and a non-violating vehicle based on the at least one trajectory.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and processor-readable media for video anomaly detection based upon a sparsity model. A video input can be received and two or more diverse descriptors of an event can be computed from the video input. The descriptors can be combined to form an event matrix. A sparse reconstruction of the event matrix can be performed with respect to an over complete dictionary of training events represented by the diverse descriptors. A step can then be performed to determine if the event is anomalous by computing an outlier rejection measure on the sparse reconstruction.
