SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OVERLAYING DATA ONTO IMAGES OF A TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT CAMERA
First Claim
1. A system for overlaying data onto an image of a traffic violation event, the system comprising:
- a plurality of roadside computers in communication with a system server over a network that capture a digital video of the violation event and other data pertinent to the violation event, wherein the video is of a particular file type, and wherein roadside computers automatically overlay a databar onto each frame of the violation event, the databar containing the data pertinent to the violation event, thereby creating a single integrated image frame file; and
a system server adapted to receive the image frame file from the roadside computers and transmit the image file frame through the network to be stored in a violation event database, to be used by traffic enforcement personnel.

Abstract
A system and method for overlaying data, in the form of a databar, onto image frames that collectively show a video of a traffic violation event. In the system and method, a digital video of the violation event is first captured, where the video is comprised of a plurality of image frames of the violation event. Pertinent data corresponding to the violation event is determined and then this data is overlaid onto each image frame as a databar. In this manner, a single integrated file showing an image frame, having the databar overlaid thereon, may be stored in a database for evidentiary purposes to be reviewed by traffic enforcement personnel.

8. A method for overlaying data onto an image of a traffic violation event, the method comprising:
-
capturing a digital video of the traffic violation event, the video being of a particular file type and comprising a series of frames that collectively form a digital video file of the traffic violation event; automatically ascertaining pertinent data relevant to each frame of the video such that the data is specific to a particular moment of the violation event video, represented by the individual frame; and automatically overlaying the pertinent data in the form of a databar onto its respective frame, thereby creating an integrated image frame file showing an image frame having the databar overlaid thereon. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer program product, comprising a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method for overlaying of a databar onto an image of a traffic violation event, the product including instructions for:
-
capturing a digital video of the traffic violation event, the video comprising a series of frames that collectively form a digital video file of the traffic violation event; ascertaining pertinent data relevant to each frame of the video such that the data is specific to a particular moment of the violation event video, represented by the individual frame; and overlaying the pertinent data in the form of a databar onto its respective frame, thereby creating an integrated image frame file showing an image frame having the databar overlaid thereon. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
