    Abstract: Methods and systems receive a series of images and compare at least two of the images in the series of images to locate items that are in different positions to identify moving items. Such methods and systems further calculate a measure of the moving items within the series of images. Additionally, such methods and systems perform a continuously variable image correction to remove the moving items from the images to produce a series of corrected images. This “continuously variable image correction” increases the amount of image correction for a relatively higher measure of the moving items and decreases the amount of image correction for a relatively lower measure of the moving items, and does so continuously as the measure of the moving items changes within the series of images.

    Abstract: A method and system for video-based object tracking includes detecting an initial instance of an object of interest in video captured of a scene being monitored and establishing a representation of a target object from the initial instance of the object. The dominant motion trajectory characteristic of the target object are then determined and a frame-by-frame location of the target object can be collected in order to track the target object in the video.

    Abstract: When performing video-based speed enforcement a main camera and a secondary RGB traffic camera are employed to provide improved accuracy of speed measurement and improved evidentiary photo quality compared to single camera approaches. The RGB traffic camera provides sparse secondary video data at a lower cost than a conventional stereo camera. The sparse stereo processing is performed using the main camera data and the sparse RGB camera data to estimate a height of one or more tracked vehicle features, which in turn is used to improve speed estimate accuracy. By using secondary video, spatio-temporally sparse stereo processing is enabled specifically for estimating the height of a vehicle feature above the road surface.

    Abstract: A method for detecting an object includes acquiring a first video of a source domain where a vision-based object detector is trained. Change detection is performed on the first video to collect one or more first localized, unlabeled sample images from the source domain. A second video is acquired of a target domain where the vision-based object detector is used. Change detection is performed on the second video to collect one or more second localized, unlabeled sample images from the target domain. A domain adaptation parameter is determined based on, one or more domain shift properties between the one or more first localized, unlabeled sample images from the source domain and the one or more second localized, unlabeled sample images from the target domain. The vision-based object detector is adapted to be used for object detection in the target domain based on the domain adaptation parameter.

    Abstract: A system for estimating parking occupancy includes a vehicle-detection device including an adjustable mast supporting an image capture device at a select height. The image capture device acquires video of a current parking area. A computer processor in communication with the image capture device is configured to receive the video data and define a region of interest in the video data. The processor is further configured to perform a spatial transform on the ROI to transform the ROI to a normalized geometric space. The processor is further configured to apply features of a detected object in the normalized geometric space to a vehicle classifier—previously trained with samples acquired from a normalized camera perspective similar to the normalized geometric space—and determine the occupancy of the current parking area using an output of the classifier.
