First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a station to identify a vehicle and to determine a characterizing feature of the vehicle;
an imager located remotely from the station, the imager to acquire an image of the vehicle that includes the characterizing feature; and
a processor to detect the characterizing feature in the acquired image and to associate the detected characterizing feature with the identified vehicle so as to predict a location of the vehicle.

Abstract
A system and method may include a station to identify a vehicle and to determine a characterizing feature of the vehicle. An imager that is located remotely from the station is configured to acquire an image of the vehicle that includes the characterizing feature. A processor is configured to detect the characterizing feature in the acquired image and to associate the detected characterizing feature with the identified vehicle so as to predict a location of the vehicle.

6. A system for predicting an identity of a vehicle detected by multiple sensors, the system comprising:
-
a first sensor in a first location to detect a unique identifier of said vehicle; a second sensor in a second location, said second sensor suitable to capture a second identifier of said vehicle, said second sensor not suitable to detect said unique identifier; a processor, said processor to associate said unique identifier with said second identifier, and to predict that said vehicle detected by said second sensor in said second location is said vehicle detected by said first sensor in said first location. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method for vehicle monitoring, the method comprising:
-
operating a sensor to automatically identify a vehicle at a first time at a first location; determining a characterizing feature of the identified vehicle; operating an imager to acquire an image at a second time at a second location; and if the acquired image includes the characterizing feature, predicting a location of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
