Automatic vehicle rear-view detection based on the AutoVu camera system
FY 2011-12
Summary
Genetec is a world leader in the domain of video surveillance and License Plate Recognition (LPR). The
AutoVu system is part of the security center product and is used by law enforcement agencies, Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS) and tolling systems throughout the world. In some cases, the detection of the
license plate fails because of an atypical license plate bad or observation conditions (snow, extreme observation
angles, occlusions, low lighting, etc.). In this kind of situation, the analysis should rely on other visual cues in
order to decide whether or not a vehicle is present. The long term goal of Genetec is to add visual processing
capabilities beyond LPR that could help improve performances and offer additional video analytic capabilities.
The short term goal is to start collaboration and identify methodology candidates that could help detect vehicles
without relying on the license plate detection only.
