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:
This disclosure provides methods and systems of classifying a vehicle using motion vectors associated with captured images including a vehicle. According to an exemplary method, a cluster of motion vectors representative of a vehicle within a target region is analyzed to determine geometric attributes of the cluster and/or measure a length of a detected vehicle, which provides a basis for classifying the detected vehicle.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and systems for detecting one or more vehicles in video captured from a deployed video camera directed at a parking region. According to one exemplary embodiment, disclosed is a method of training a deployed classifier associated with the video camera, where a generic classifier is initially used to obtain high confidence training samples from the video camera, the high confidence training samples subsequently used to train the deployed classifier.
Abstract:
A method and structure for estimating parking occupancy within an area of interest can include the use of at least two image capture devices and a processor (e.g., a computer) which form at least part of a network. A method for estimating the parking occupancy within the area of interest can include the use of vehicle entry and exit data from the area of interest, as well as an estimated transit time for vehicles transiting through the area of interest without parking.
