Vehicle Identification System

A vehicle identification system, comprising:

• a first sensor oriented towards a first point of interest, wherein the first sensor is configured to detect a first vehicle positioned at or near the first point of interest;
• a second sensor oriented towards a second point of interest, wherein the second sensor is configured to detect a second vehicle positioned at or near the second point of interest;
• a camera oriented such that both the first point of interest and the second point of interest are within a field of view of the camera, wherein the camera is configured to capture an image of the first vehicle when the first sensor detects the first vehicle positioned at or near the first point of interest, wherein the camera is configured to capture an image of the second vehicle when the second sensor detects the second vehicle positioned at or near the second point of interest;
• and
• a processing unit communicatively connected to the first sensor, the second sensor, and the camera, wherein the processing unit is configured to extract a first license plate image from the image of the first vehicle and a second license plate image from the image of the second vehicle, wherein the processing unit is configured to verify that the first vehicle is positioned at or near the first point of interest based on a size of a first license plate image in the image of the first vehicle, and wherein the processing unit is configured to verify that the second vehicle is positioned at or near the second point of interest based on a size of a second license plate in the image of the second vehicle.

A vehicle identification system, comprising:

• a plurality of sensors each being oriented towards at least one of a plurality of points of interest;
• a plurality of cameras each being oriented towards at least one of the plurality of points of interest, wherein at least one of the plurality of cameras and at least one of the plurality of sensors is oriented towards each of the plurality of points of interest;
• a plurality of processing units, wherein at least one of the plurality of processing units is communicatively connected to at least one of the plurality of sensors and at least one of the plurality of cameras;
• and
• a control unit communicatively connected to each of the plurality of processing units;
• wherein each of the plurality of sensors is configured to detect a vehicle positioned at or near at least one of the plurality of points of interest;
• wherein each of the plurality of cameras is configured to obtain an image of the vehicle when one of the plurality of sensors detects the vehicle positioned at or near at least one of the plurality of points of interest;
• wherein each of the plurality of processing units is configured to extract a license plate image from the image of the vehicle, wherein each of the plurality of processing units is configured to transfer the license plate image of the vehicle to the control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to associate the license plate image of the vehicle with one of the plurality of points of interest, and wherein each of the plurality of processing units is configured to verify a position of the vehicle based on a size of the license plate image of the vehicle.
