"A video based Vehicle Fingerprinting Algorithm for Image to Image Vehicle Correlation"
Many license plate recognition system applications require the correlation of a newly acquired vehicle image with a vehicle image that had
been acquired at an earlier time and place. This pertains specifically to confirming vehicle identification at the exit of a closed parking lot.
TDS has worked to develop a vehicle fingerprinting technique to generate a unique set of data that can be used to
identify a vehicle.
The TDS vehicleprint matching system provides a quick and efficient method for obtaining a video vehicleprint of a vehicle (similar to a fingerprint representation) from a high resolution image of the front or rear of a vehicle. The VIMS is a standalone application that runs under the either the Linux or Windows operating systems. In a typical operation the TDS server processes an incoming images to generate a vehicleprint. The correlation engine then attempts to correlate the vehicleprint.
The vehicleprint application can also be used in a real time system to provide image recognition (vehicleprint) for entry into a vehicle database. This is useful in situations where the vehicleprints of vehicles entering a parking lot must be immediately available for further processing upon vehicle exit.
