Abstract
A method includes receiving from a first detection system, an image of a license plate, applying an optical recognition function to characters of the license plate, and assigning a confidence value to each of the characters. The method further includes, in response to determining that the confidence value for a particular character is below a threshold, sending an image of the character to a gamified human reviewer application, receiving from the gamified human reviewer application, a human response indicative of a characteristic of the character, and updating the optical recognition function based on the characteristic of the character.
Claims20
A method performed by a computing system, the method comprising:
- receiving from a first detection system, an image of a license plate;
- applying an optical recognition function to characters of the license plate;
- assigning a confidence value to each of the characters;
- in response to determining that the confidence value for a particular character is below a threshold, sending an image of the character to a gamified human reviewer application;
- receiving from the gamified human reviewer application, a human response indicative of a characteristic of the character;
- and
- updating the optical recognition function based on the characteristic of the character.
A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of character images from a license plate recognition system, each character image comprising a single character from an image of a license plate;
- presenting the plurality of character images to a user in a gamified manner;
- presenting the user with information regarding the user's performance of identifying the characters;
- and
- receiving from the user, an identification of the characters and characteristics of the characters;
- returning the identification and the characteristic to the license plate recognition system.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory comprising machine readable instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the system to:
- receive from a detection system, an image of a license plate;
- apply an optical recognition function to characters of the license plate;
- assign a confidence value to each of the characters;
- in response to determining that the confidence value for a particular character is below a threshold, sending an image of the character to a gamified human reviewer application;
- receiving from the gamified human reviewer application, a human response indicative of a characteristic of the character;
- and
- updating the optical recognition function based on the characteristic of the character.
