Locating persons of interest based on license plate recognition information
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a license plate number of a vehicle associated with a person of interest onto a computing system including a processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing an amount of program code that when executed by the processor is for;
determining a plurality of License Plate Recognition (LPR) instances recognized within a search zone around any of a plurality of possible locations of the person of interest, wherein a possible location of the person of interest includes any of a location of an LPR instance that matches the license plate number and an address location associated with the person of interest;
determining a number of LPR visits associated with each possible location of the person of interest;
ranking the plurality of possible locations of the person of interest based at least in pail on a plurality of LPR instances that match the license plate number and the number of LPR visits to each location;
determining an average estimated monetary value of the vehicles associated with the plurality of LPR instances; and
identifying a license plate number associated with a vehicle with an estimated monetary value that differs from the average estimated monetary value by more than a threshold value.

Abstract
Possible locations of a person of interest are ranked based on LPR instances captured around physical locations and license plate numbers associated with the person of interest. An LPR instance includes an indication of a vehicle license plate number, a physical location, and a time when the LPR instance was captured by a LPR system. A possible location of the person of interest may be a location of an LPR instance that matches the license plate number or an address location associated with the person of interest. The ranking may be based on the number of LPR visits to each location, the number of license plate number matches at each location, or an attribute of a cluster of LPR instances. In some examples, an electronic message is rapidly communicated to an entity if a target license plate number is found at a highly ranked location.

13. A method comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of LPR instances that include a plurality of license plate numbers within a search zone around a location onto a computing system including a processor and a nontransitory computer readable medium storing an amount of program code that when executed by the processor is for; ranking the plurality of license plate numbers based at least in part on a monetary value of each vehicle associated with each of the plurality of license plate numbers, wherein the ranking of the plurality of license plate numbers based at least in pail on the monetary value of each vehicle involves; determining an average estimated monetary value of the vehicles associated with the plurality of license plate numbers; and identifying a license plate number associated with a vehicle with an estimated monetary value that differs from the average estimated monetary value by more than a threshold value; and ranking the plurality of license plate numbers based at least in part on a number of the plurality of LPR instances that match each of the plurality of license plate numbers. - View Dependent Claims (14)

-
a processor; and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing an amount of program code that, when executed, causes the apparatus to receive an indication of a license plate number of a vehicle associated with a person of interest; determine a plurality of License Plate Recognition (LPR) instances recognized within a search zone around any of the plurality of possible locations of the person of interest, wherein a possible location of the person of interest includes any of a location of an LPR instance that matches the license plate number and an address location associated with the person of interest; determine a number of LPR visits associated with each possible location of the person of interest; rank the plurality of possible locations of the person of interest based at least in part on a plurality of LPR instances that match the license plate number and the number of LPR visits to each location; and determine an average estimated monetary value of the vehicles associated with the plurality of LPR instances; and identify a license plate number associated with a vehicle with an estimated monetary value that differs from the average estimated monetary value by more than a threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
