Abstract: System and methods are disclosed for rapid license plate reading. A first image having a first resolution may be generated. A location of a license plate in the first image may be detected. The license plate may be read from a second image in accordance with the location of the license plate. The second image may have a second resolution greater than the first resolution. In embodiments, reading the license plate may comprise tracking the license plate across a plurality of license plate images.

Abstract: System and methods are disclosed for capturing license plate (LP) information of a vehicle in relative motion to a camera device. In one example, the camera system detects the LP in multiple frames, then aligns and geometrically rectifies the image of the LP by scaling, warping, rotating, and/or performing other functions on the images. The camera system may optimize capturing of the LP information by executing a temporal noise filter on the aligned, geometrically rectified images to generate a composite image of the LP for optical character recognition. In some examples, the camera device may include an image sensor, such as a high dynamic range (HDR) sensor, modified to set long and short exposures of the HDR sensor to capture frames of a vehicle's LP, but without consolidating the images into a composite image. The camera system may set optimal exposure settings based on detected relative speed of the vehicle.

Abstract: Described are examples for generating high dynamic range (HDR)/wide color gamut (WCG) output from an image sensor. A raw red, green, blue (RGB) image obtained by the image sensor can be received. A plurality of color transform operations can be applied to the raw RGB image to generate a HDR/WCG image. The HDR/WCG image can be stored in a memory, displayed on a display, transmitted to another device, etc.
