Vehicle identification methods and systems
First Claim
1. A vehicle identification method comprising:
- acquiring appearance information of an inspected vehicle and obtaining external features of the vehicle based on the appearance information;
acquiring an X-ray image of the vehicle and obtaining internal features of the vehicle from the X-ray image;
forming descriptions on the vehicle based on the external features and the internal features; and
determining a vehicle model of the vehicle from a vehicle model database by utilizing the descriptions,wherein the appearance information includes contour information obtained by using an infrared sensor, and face information and chassis information of the vehicle obtained using a visible light sensor, and wherein the external features include contour features based on the contour information, face features based on the face information, and chassis features based on the chassis information,wherein the contour features, the face features, the chassis features, and internal features are respectively extracted based on characteristics of modalities thereof, andwherein the vehicle is identified by first using the contour features, the face features, the chassis features, and internal features in a sequential form to improve an identification rate of the vehicle model of the vehicle.

Abstract
Disclosed is a vehicle identification method and system. The method includes: acquiring appearance information of an inspected vehicle; obtaining external features of the vehicle based on the appearance information; acquiring a transmission image of the vehicle and obtaining internal features of the vehicle from the transmission image; forming descriptions on the vehicle at least based on the external features and the internal features; and determining a vehicle model of the vehicle from a vehicle model databased by utilizing the descriptions. This method merges various types of modality information, especially introducing the transmission image, and combines the internal structure information with the appearance information, so that the present disclosure can identify a vehicle model more practically.
