  • Publication number: 20240071109
    Abstract: A vehicle analysis system provides an automatic license plate recognition module that receives image data from an ALPR camera detecting a license plate of a target vehicle. A context camera module of the system receives image data from a context camera capturing image data of the target vehicle. A geographical data module of the system can access map image data including a plurality of map definitions associated with a plurality of restricted zones. An artificial intelligence model and/or algorithm combines portions of each of the ALPR image data, the context camera image data, and the map image data, and uses the combined data for determining a location of the target vehicle in relation to at least one restricted zone.

  • Patent number: 11301551
    Abstract: Access to computing assets is controlled by dynamically selecting an authentication process for an access attempt to a computing asset. In an example embodiment, when an indication of an access attempt for a computing asset is received, a security level associated with the computing asset is determined. Based on the security level associated with the computing asset, an authentication process is selected from a plurality of authentication processes, and the selected authentication process is executed in relation to the access attempt for the computing asset. In further embodiments, the authentication process is further selected based on a comparison of an access characteristic associated with the access attempt for the computing asset and an access characteristic for a user associated with the access attempt.
