System and methods for automatically validating evidence of traffic violations using automatically detected context features

A system for automatically evaluating evidence of a potential traffic violation, comprising:

• an edge device comprising one or more cameras configured to capture videos of a vehicle involved in the potential traffic violation, wherein the edge device comprises one or more processors coupled to a memory, wherein the one or more processors are programmed to generate an evidence package concerning the potential traffic violation, wherein the evidence package comprises one or more event video frames and license plate video frames from the videos captured by the edge device and one or more first classification results, wherein the first classification results are obtained by feeding the one or more event video frames and license plate video frames into one or more deep learning models running on the edge device, and wherein each of the first classification results is associated with one of a plurality of features;
• and
• a server communicatively coupled to the edge device, wherein the server comprises one or more server processors programmed to:
• receive the evidence package from the edge device,
• input the one or more event video frames and license plate video frames into one or more deep learning models running on the server to obtain one or more second classification results, wherein each of the second classification results is associated with one of the plurality of features,
• input one or more of the first classification results and their associated features, one or more of the second classification results and their associated features, or a combination thereof into a decision tree algorithm to obtain a plurality of contributing scores, wherein each of the contributing scores is associated with one of the plurality of features,
• calculate a final score based on the contributing scores, and
• evaluate the final score against one or more predetermined thresholds to determine whether the evidence package is automatically approved, is automatically rejected, or requires further review.
