Parking Information Collection System and Method
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An automatic data collection system, comprising:
- one or more image collection subsystems in a first viewpoint, one or more memories for storing one or more first viewpoint images;
one or more processors;
one or more first location datum captured at the same time as the first viewpoint images;
a possible target located within said first viewpoint images is analyzed with use of a database of possible targets; and
identifying one or more proximate features within the first viewpoint images, wherein said features are then located in a second viewpoint image taken from a different viewpoint then the said first viewpoint images, and subsequently updating the possible target geolocation data using the said proximate features found in each of the two viewpoints.

-
17. The method of producing a more accurate location for a target, comprising identifying a target in a first viewpoint image;
- identifying a neighboring feature to the target;
identifying the neighboring feature in a second viewpoint image;
using the location data of the neighboring feature from the second viewpoint to improve the location of the target in the second viewpoint. - View Dependent Claims (18)
- identifying a neighboring feature to the target;
- 19. An automatic data collection system, having means for an image collection subsystem in a first viewpoint, a database of possible targets, a target identified in the said first viewpoint, a proximate feature also identified in the said first viewpoint, said proximate feature also identified in a second viewpoint, wherein the target location is updated in the second viewpoint.
