  • Method of vehicle identification and a system for vehicle identification
    Patent number: 9396403
    Abstract: A method for vehicle identification to determine at least one vehicle characteristic, comprising: obtaining an input image (301) of the vehicle from an image source (101); normalization of the input image (301) of the vehicle in a normalization unit (103, 104) to obtain a normalized image; determining the vehicle characteristic in a classification unit (111, 112) by comparing parameters of a normalized image obtained in a parametrization unit (107, 108) with parameters of reference images obtained from a reference database (113, 114).

  • METHOD OF VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION AND A SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
    Publication number: 20150294174
    Abstract: A method for vehicle identification to determine at least one vehicle characteristic, comprising: obtaining an input image (301) of the vehicle from an image source (101); normalisation of the input image (301) of the vehicle in a normalisation unit (103, 104) to obtain a normalized image; determining the vehicle characteristic in a classification unit (111, 112) by comparing parameters of a normalised image obtained in a parametrisation unit (107, 108) with parameters of reference images obtained from a reference database (113, 114).
