Abstract: The present disclosure provides an automatically updating vehicle classification system and method. The system comprises a processor which extracts from a vehicle image at least one of: a unique vehicle identifier from the vehicle image and visual features of the vehicle in the vehicle image. If the visual features are below a probability threshold for matching a vehicle class in a local database, the processor looks up the unique vehicle identifier in a registration database. The registration database stores vehicle registration information including unique vehicle identifiers and associated vehicle class information. If the vehicle class information associated with the vehicle identifier is not a class recognized by the processor, the processor creates a new vehicle class associated with the visual features of the vehicle.

Abstract: A camera system with dual embedded optical character recognition (OCR) engines. The camera system includes a camera module for capturing an image of a vehicle, the image including a license plate with a license plate number containing characters; a first OCR engine that produces a first read and first confidence level by extracting the characters from the license plate; and a second OCR engine, different from the first OCR engine, that produces a second read and second confidence level extracting the characters from the license plate. The camera system further includes a comparator for comparing the first read to the second read. If the first read and the second read match, the system produces the matching read as a final read. If the first read and the second read do not match, a fusion module produces a final read using the first read, the first confidence level, the second read, and the second confidence level.
