Vehicle inspection methods and systems
First Claim
1. A vehicle inspection method comprising:
- acquiring a transmission image of vehicle;
removing parts of the transmission image that are outside an inspected vehicle in the transmission image to obtain a transmission image of the inspected vehicle;
acquiring from a database a transmission image template of a vehicle model that is the same as that of the inspected vehicle;
performing registration on the transmission image of the inspected vehicle with the transmission image template to obtain a registered transmission image;
determining a difference between the registered transmission image and the transmission image template, to obtain a change area of the transmission image of the vehicle relative to the transmission image template; and
processing the change area to determine whether the vehicle carries a suspected object;
wherein the removing parts of the transmission image comprises;
removing strip in the transmission image of the vehicle to obtain an image having a changing background;
obtaining a gradient map for the image having the changing background and quantizing the gradient map to obtain a binary quantized gradient map;
obtaining a largest continuous region in a horizontal projection and a vertical projection in the binary quantized gradient map; and
removing parts outside the largest continuous region in the transmission image of the vehicle to obtain the transmission image of the inspected vehicle, andwherein the method is performed by at least one processor.

Abstract
A vehicle inspection method and system are disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes acquiring a transmission image of an inspected vehicle. The method further includes acquiring a transmission image template of a vehicle model corresponding to the model of the inspected vehicle from a database. The method further includes performing registration on the transmission image of the inspected vehicle and the transmission image template. The method further includes determining a difference between a transmission image after the registration and a transmission image template after the registration, to obtain a difference area of the transmission image of the vehicle relative to the transmission image template. The method further includes processing the difference area to determine whether the vehicle carries a suspicious object or not. In some embodiments, this solution can avoid the problems of a detection loophole and a poor effect of manually determining an image in a conventional manner, and is important to assist the security inspection for small vehicles.

6. A vehicle inspection system, comprising a processor configured to:
-
acquire a transmission image of an inspected vehicle; remove parts of the transmission image that are outside the inspected vehicle in the transmission image to obtain a transmission image of the inspected vehicle; acquire a transmission image template of a vehicle model the same as that of the inspected vehicle from a database, perform registration on the transmission image of the inspected vehicle with the transmission image template to obtain a registered transmission image, determine a difference between the registered transmission image and the transmission image template to obtain a change area of the transmission image of the inspected vehicle relative to the transmission image template, and process the change area to determine whether the inspected vehicle carries a suspected object or not; wherein the processor is further configured to; remove strip in the transmission image of the inspected vehicle to obtain an image having a changing background; obtain a gradient map for the image having the changing background and quantize the gradient map to obtain a binary quantized gradient map; obtain a largest continuous region in a horizontal projection and a vertical projection in the binary quantized gradient map; and remove parts outside the largest continuous region in the transmission image of the vehicle to obtain the transmission image of inspected vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (7)
