  • Patent number: 11682218
    Abstract: Methods for vehicle data collection by image analysis are provided. An example method involves positioning a camera in a vehicle to be pointed toward a field of interest in the vehicle, capturing an image of the field of interest with the camera, identifying a region of interest in the image that is expected to convey vehicle information, and running an image processing model over the region of interest to extract vehicle information from the image.

  • Patent number: 11669593
    Abstract: Systems and methods for training image processing models for vehicle data collection by image analysis are provided. An example method involves accessing an image of a field of interest in a vehicle captured by a camera in the vehicle, providing a user interface to, display the image, receive input that defines a region of interest in the image that is expected to convey vehicle information, and receive input that assigns a label to the region of interest that associates the region of interest with an image processing model that is to be trained to extract a type of vehicle information from the region of interest, and contributing the image, labelled with the region of interest and the label associating the region of interest to the image processing model, to a training data library to train the image processing model.

  • Patent number: 11650329
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for asset travel monitoring are provided. An example method for asset travel monitoring involves monitoring a motion sensor of an asset tracking device located at an asset to determine whether the asset has entered into a travelling state, upon determination that the asset has entered into the travelling state, monitoring the motion sensor to determine whether the asset has left the travelling state, and, upon determination that the asset has left the travelling state, obtaining a present location of the asset tracking device and transmitting the present location to a remote server.

  • Patent number: 11552495
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for temperature-dependent charging of supercapacitor energy storage units of asset tracking devices are provided. An example method for temperature-dependent charging involves obtaining a temperature reading measured at an asset tracking device, the asset tracking device located at an asset to monitor travel of the asset, determining a target voltage for a supercapacitor energy storage unit of the asset tracking device based on the temperature reading to balance utilization of a capacity of the supercapacitor energy storage unit against temperature-dependent deterioration of the supercapacitor energy storage unit, and controlling a charging interface of the asset tracking device to charge the supercapacitor energy storage unit to the target voltage.
