IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18480699 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM

The image processing system described in the patent application involves a processor that generates an image by processing moving image data containing multiple vehicles. The processor categorizes the vehicles into an object vehicle and another vehicle based on license plate information in the data. It then creates the image by applying masking processing to conceal selected vehicles in a frame within the moving image data.

• The processor classifies vehicles into object and other categories based on license plate information.
• Masking processing is applied to hide specific vehicles in the frame of the moving image data.

Potential Applications: - Traffic monitoring systems - Surveillance systems - Automated toll collection systems

Problems Solved: - Efficient vehicle classification in moving image data - Enhanced privacy protection by masking selected vehicles

Benefits: - Improved accuracy in vehicle identification - Enhanced privacy for individuals in surveillance footage

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Vehicle Classification System for Surveillance Applications This technology can be utilized in traffic monitoring systems, surveillance cameras, and toll collection systems to improve vehicle classification accuracy and privacy protection.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine which vehicles to mask in the image processing? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in real-world surveillance systems?

Original Abstract Submitted

The image processing system includes a processor that generates an image by performing image processing on moving image data in which a plurality of vehicles is shot. The processor classifies the vehicles into an object vehicle and another vehicle other than the object vehicle, based on license plate information in the moving image data, and generates the image by performing masking processing for hiding selected vehicles, out of the object vehicle and the other vehicle, in a frame included in the moving image data.
