Method and system for verifying a traffic violation image
First Claim
1. A system for verifying a traffic violation image, which system includes:
- a sensor for automatically sensing whether or not a vehicle commits a traffic violation;
a camera arranged in communication with the sensor which camera is configured to automatically capture an image of a vehicle committing a traffic violation if it is sensed that the vehicle has committed a traffic violation; and
a processor arranged in communication with the camera which processor configured to obtain calibration data which verifies a calibration history of the sensor and/or the camera in order to verify that the sensor and/or the camera senses accurately within acceptable limits, and to automatically incorporate the obtained calibration data into the captured traffic violation image to provide proof of the accurate sensing and/or capturing of the traffic violation.

Abstract
A method 10 of verifying a traffic violation image and includes the step of automatically sensing 12 whether or not a vehicle commits a traffic violation, the step of automatically capturing 14 an image which shows a vehicle committing a traffic violation if it is sensed 12 that the vehicle has committed a traffic violation, the step of obtaining 16 verification data which verifies that the step of sensing 12 is accurate within acceptable limits, and the step of automatically combining 18 the obtained verification data with the captured traffic violation image to provide proof of the accurate sensing of the traffic violation. Also provided is an associated system.

15. A method of verifying a traffic violation image which method includes the following steps
automatically sensing whether or not a vehicle commits a traffic violation; -
automatically capturing an image which shows the vehicle committing a traffic violation if it is sensed that the vehicle has committed a traffic violation; obtaining calibration data which verifies a calibration history of equipment used to sense and/or capture the traffic violation in order to verify that the steps of sensing and/or capturing are accurate within acceptable limits; and automatically incorporating the obtained calibration data into the captured traffic violation image to provide proof of the accurate sensing and/or capturing of the traffic violation. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
