Abstract: Methods and systems of license plate recognition can involve subjecting an image captured by an image capturing device to image-processing by a group of different license plate recognition engines including a license plate recognition engine and a license plate reidentification engine, and using a decision tree to combine data from the license plate recognition engine and the license plate reidentification engine and generate a license plate identifier based on the data processed by the decision tree.

Abstract: A video surveillance method and system involves transitioning pixel intensities in a region associated with a fixed location from background values to values representing an image of an object when the object is abandoned at a fixed location in a scene in a video, and identifying an instance of time in the video when the object is abandoned, based on the transitioned pixel intensities resulting from the transitioning of the pixel intensities.

Abstract: A method and system for image processing of an image captured by an image-capturing device, can involve dividing a region of interest in an image into blocks, wherein the image is captured by an image-capturing device. The region of interest can be associated with one or more faces in the image, and a resulting division of the dividing of the region of interest may be non-uniform. A minimum block size can be defined and the coordinates of each block after dividing of the region of interest in the image into the blocks. The one or more faces in the image can be redacted and reconstructed using the coordinates. In addition, redacting and reconstructing of the image is reversible for use with detecting the one or more faces in the image. The coordinates can specify top left coordinates and bottom right coordinates of each block.
