  • Publication number: 20260237049
    Abstract: A method for establishing a tire information recognition model, a tire information recognition method, and a tire information recognition system. In the method for establishing the model, images of tire side surfaces taken from various angles are obtained for creating a tire image training dataset. Positions of the tires are identified from each of the images, and a tire image can be segmented from the images for generating a tire image set. A fixed tire image set is obtained through geometry fixing. An object detection model is used to detect objects in each of the images in the fixed tire image set. Multiple regions of interest can be created in each of the images, and the regions of interest are labeled so as to form a labeled tire image training dataset used to train the object detection model in order to establish the tire information recognition model.

  • Publication number: 20250157229
    Abstract: An identification method and an identification system for a license plate are provided. The method includes: obtaining images in sequence; decomposing each image into a vehicle image and a license plate image, inputting the vehicle image into a vehicle detection model to detect a vehicle through first processing stages; inputting the detected vehicle into a vehicle metadata identification model to obtain vehicle metadata through second processing stages; inputting the license plate image into the license plate recognition model to identify license plate information through third processing stages; and merging and processing the license plate information and vehicle metadata to generate a license plate recognition result. The first processing stages and the second processing stages form a first pipeline architecture, the third processing stages form a second pipeline architecture, and the first pipeline architecture and the second pipeline architecture are executed simultaneously.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20240098125
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, a method and a computer-readable medium for rendering a streaming on a user terminal. The method includes rendering the streaming in a first mode, receiving an environment parameter of the user terminal, receiving a timing when the user terminal closes the streaming, determining a threshold value of the environment parameter based on the timing the user terminal closes the streaming, receiving an updated environment parameter of the user terminal, and rendering the streaming in a second mode if the updated environment parameter meets the threshold value. The second mode includes fewer data objects than the first mode or includes a downgraded version of a data object in the first mode for the rendering. The present disclosure can customize the rendering mode for each user and maximize the satisfaction of viewing streaming for each user.
