  • Patent number: 8947534
    Abstract: A device for use with an imaging system that is operable to provide an image signal based on an object disposed at a first distance from the imaging system. The imaging system includes a first camera, a second camera and a display. The first camera is operable to generate a first image signal based on the object and includes a first optics system and a first detector. The first optics system has a focal length, whereas the first detector has a resolution. The second camera is operable to generate a second image signal based on the object. The second camera includes a second optics system and a second detector. The second optics system has the same focal length of the first optics system and the second detector has the same resolution as the first detector. The second camera is separated from the first camera by a second distance. The display is operable to display an image based on a modified image.

  • Publication number: 20080166018
    Abstract: A system includes an interface that receives an image, which includes a motor vehicle and background, and a processing device that performs a method for object recognition on the received image. The method includes the steps of: determining motion information corresponding to at least one of the moving vehicle and the background; detecting the moving vehicle in the image using the motion information; detecting an object of interest on the moving vehicle; and performing an object recognition process on the object of interest. The system may be part of a license plate recognition system.
