  • Publication number: 20250139997
    Abstract: An edge-computing method and an edge-computing system for automatic license plate recognition are provided. The edge-computing method is performed in a terminal system of a vehicle. The edge-computing system includes a photographing module and a computing circuit. A streaming video is generated by the photographing module. An object-detection model is used to identify a license plate in each frame of the video and recognize characters from an image of the license plate. A confidence algorithm is used to calculate a confidence level of each of the characters and a confidence score of all of the characters. Confidence scores of the license plate in continuous frames within a period of time are calculated, and the frame having a highest confidence score is stored in a memory. Afterwards, a classification model is used to recognize features of vehicle, such as a vehicle jurisdiction, a color, a brand, and a model.

  • Publication number: 20250139998
    Abstract: A method for tracking an object in a dynamic scene and a system are provided. The object-tracking system acquires continuous frames and identifies one or more objects in each of the frames. A target object is chosen from a first frame. An object distance between the target object and each of the objects identified in a second frame is calculated. Word strings on the target object and every object identified in the second frame are recognized. A string similarity between the string on the target object and the string on each of the objects in the second frame is calculated. An overall score of the object distance and the string similarity is calculated and is referred to for determining if the target object is present in the second frame. Object-tracking is implemented when the target object is determined to be present in the second frame and subsequent frames.
