Abstract
A system includes an interface that receives an image, which includes a motor vehicle and background, and a processing device that performs a method for object recognition on the received image. The method includes the steps of: determining motion information corresponding to at least one of the moving vehicle and the background; detecting the moving vehicle in the image using the motion information; detecting an object of interest on the moving vehicle; and performing an object recognition process on the object of interest. The system may be part of a license plate recognition system.

A method for performing object recognition on an image comprising a moving motor vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving an image comprising a moving motor vehicle and background;
- determining motion information corresponding to at least one of the moving vehicle and the background;
- detecting the moving vehicle in the image using the motion information;
- detecting an object of interest on the moving vehicle;
- and
- performing an object recognition process on the object of interest.
Apparatus for performing object recognition on an image comprising a moving motor vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- an interface for receiving an image comprising a moving motor vehicle and background;
- and
- a processing device configured for performing the steps of:
- determining motion information corresponding to at least one of the moving motor vehicle and the background;
- detecting the moving vehicle in the image using the motion information;
