Abstract
A license plate recognition system may include a vehicle and an analysis server. The vehicle may include an image capture device and an on-board device. The image capture device may capture a vehicle image that includes a license plate of a target vehicle. The on-board device may capture various vehicle data of the target vehicle, such as speed, direction, and location. The analysis server may receive and process the vehicle image and/or vehicle data to determine whether alert criteria are met, e.g., if the target vehicle is stolen. If so, the analysis server may send an alert indication to the vehicle that may include a possible current location of the target vehicle.
