Abstract: A system configured for verification of imaged target detection performs the following: (a) receive information indicative of at least two images of object(s). This information comprises candidate target detection region(s), indicative of possible detection of a target associated with the object(s). Images have at least partial overlap. The candidate region(s) appears at least partially in the overlap area. The images are associated with different relative positions of capturing imaging device(s) and of an imaged portion of the object(s). (b) process the information to determine whether the candidate region(s) meets a detection repetition criterion, the criterion indicative of repetition of candidate region(s) in locations of the images that are associated with a same location on a data representation of the object(s). (c) if the criterion is met, classify the candidate region(s) as verified target detection region(s). This facilitates output of an indication of the verified region(s).

Abstract: There are provided a system and a method of automatic tire inspection, the method comprising: obtaining at least one image capturing a wheel of a vehicle; segmenting the at least one image into image segments including a tire image segment corresponding to a tire of the wheel; straightening the tire image segment from a curved shape to a straight shape, giving rise to a straight tire segment; identifying text marked on the tire from the straight tire segment, comprising: detecting locations of a plurality of text portions on the straight tire segment, and recognizing text content for each of the text portions; and analyzing the recognized text content based on one or more predefined rules indicative of association between text content of different text portions at given relative locations, giving rise to a text analysis result indicative of condition of the tire.

Abstract: A method for determining a fingerprint of a vehicle, including receiving a vehicle identifier and, from at least one sensor, at least one vehicle appearance each including image data informative of vehicle scan. The said appearance is associated with a unique appearance time tag. Then, segmenting the image data into segments each being informative of components of the vehicle. Then, determining marker instances from the image scan, wherein each marker instance is associated with a marker class and marker features. Then, storing data indicative of the vehicle's fingerprint including the vehicle identifier and its corresponding (i) vehicle appearance and associated appearance time tag, (ii) the so determined marker instances, thereby facilitating verification of the fingerprint of the vehicle in future vehicle scan(s).

Abstract: There are provided a system and method of training a neural network system for anomaly detection, comprising: obtaining a training dataset including a set of original images and a set of random data vectors; constructing a neural network system comprising a generator, and a first discriminator and a second discriminator operatively connected to the generator; training the generator, the first discriminator and the second discriminator together based on the training dataset, such that: i) the generator is trained, at least based on evaluation of the first discriminator, to generate synthetic images meeting a criterion of photo-realism as compared to corresponding original images; and ii) the second discriminator is trained based on the original images and the synthetic images to discriminate images with anomaly from images without anomaly with a given level of accuracy, thereby giving rise to a trained neural network system.

Abstract: There are provided a method of vehicle inspection and a system thereof, the method comprising: obtaining a plurality of sets of images capturing a plurality of segments of surface of a vehicle at a plurality of time points; generating, for each time point, a 3D patch using a set of images capturing a corresponding segment at the time point, giving rise to a plurality of 3D patches; estimating 3D transformation of the plurality of 3D patches based on a relative movement between the imaging devices and the vehicle; and registering the plurality of 3D patches using the estimated 3D transformation thereby giving rise to a composite 3D point cloud of the vehicle. The composite 3D point cloud is usable for reconstructing a 3D mesh and/or 3D model of the vehicle where light reflection, comprised in at least some of the plurality of sets of images, is eliminated therefrom.
