Abstract: According to an aspect there is provided systems and methods for anonymizing images and/or detecting countability scores. Anonymization can be carried out by extracting anonymized images from image processing techniques, anonymizing the image before image processing, or detecting regions of interest and anonymizing regions of interest. Countability scores can be detected based on the inexistence of people in the image. Countability scores can impact the confidence of the count of an image. Count confidence may be used to automatically enforce, for example, tolls.

Abstract: A system for detecting occupancy of a vehicle travelling in a direction of travel along a road. The system includes a roadside imaging device positioned on a roadside, and a first roadside light emitter, and a roadside vehicle detector. A processor is configured to receive a signal from the roadside vehicle detector, command the first roadside light emitter to emit light according to a first pattern for a first duration, command the roadside imaging device to capture images of the side of the vehicle, and compute a vehicle occupancy, in each of the captured images by determining one or more regions of interest in each of the captured images, and determining a number of visible occupants in the one or more regions of interest. The processor determines a most likely number of occupants based on each determined vehicle occupancy.
