Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of identifying a vehicle traveling on a road, or the like.
  • This identification is notably implemented in the field of control of traffic conditions, and mainly the speed of motor vehicles.
  • the identification of a vehicle usually includes at least identification of the vehicle registration number. Depending on the type of carried out, it may also include a number of elements additional information relating to the identification of specific features of that vehicle or to its occupants, generally relating to offenses committed by the driver or passengers, for example speeding, non-compliance with inter-distance, absence of seatbelt, use of a telephone portable by the driver etc.
  • Offenses can be detected using devices such as a radar, a laser or a pair of pneumatic detectors in the case of speed control or interdistance.
  • a camera is triggered after detection of the offense, to provide an image of the vehicle for reading the license plate and see the driver's face.
  • Document FR 2 797 084 describes a method and an apparatus identification of a registered motor vehicle, pursuant to which two pictures are taken successively, one with a powerful flash of flash to get a good picture of the driver's face through the window of the windshield, the other with a flash of less powerful flash to obtain a good image of the license plate (even with a plate retro-reflective mineralogy). Identification of the registration number is thus made using a specific photo, another photo allowing identification of the driver's face.
  • Document FR 2 678 412 describes a method for monitoring and to photograph a vehicle, according to which the use of a device is combined camera and a camera with the same optical axis.
  • the operator serves images provided by the video camera to adjust the orientation of the camera and the camera so that the vehicle photographed is centered on the cliche. Thanks to the association of the camera and the camera, the aim is facilitated, which allows to obtain then on the picture the desired image. And in case of subsequent protest of the photo for example, because of a plate registration not appearing in full, the video tape can be viewed and provide the missing elements. This nevertheless requires having a part of the photos and secondly of the videotape.
  • control may be exercised on a single condition of circulation or on several conditions simultaneously.
  • the corresponding offenses are the failure to respect the legal speed or the interdistance between vehicles, the absence of the wearing of the belt, the holding of a mobile phone, etc.
  • the present invention aims at providing a method and a device identification of a vehicle traveling on a predetermined path which are able to give satisfaction in the presence of the constraints mentioned above.
  • the method according to the invention proposes a technique for identifying the registration of a vehicle that can be performed automatically, without the intervention of an operator to frame the photo of the license plate constituting one of the parts a statement of offense, regardless of the offense, and allowing to significantly reduce the number of unusable photos that were terminated with prior art techniques.
  • the image capture takes place at a fixed angle with respect to said trajectory. As a variant, it can take place at several fixed angles, when several means of capture, for example, several cameras are used.
  • the aforementioned digital processing is accompanied by a recognition step of the license plate and / or characters on the representation of the license plate, which can further automate the treatment identification of the vehicle.
  • some images of plurality of images showing the front of the vehicle to extract in addition to the minus a second image or fraction of two-dimensional image enhanced with the representation of at least the driver's face. And in the case where a offense was found in the traffic conditions of the vehicle on said predetermined trajectory, the aforementioned second image is then selected or fraction of two-dimensional image improved to associate it with a finding of the offense.
  • the second image or fraction enhanced two-dimensional image gives a representation of all or part the windshield of the vehicle and what appears through it. This allows to highlight different offenses relating to the occupants of the vehicle.
  • At least one third image or fraction can be extracted. improved two-dimensional image with a representation of at least one area associated with a recognizable offense. And in the case where a offense was found in the traffic conditions of the vehicle on said predetermined trajectory, the aforementioned third image is selected or two-dimensional image fraction improved to associate it with the finding of the offense. Again, this automatically allows you to have a statement of offense presenting all the evidence necessary for the highlighting the offenses committed.
  • selecting an image or fraction of an image two-dimensional improvement is placed under the control of a offense (including speeding, insufficient interval with the vehicle previous) obtained independently of the above image capture.
  • the speed violation is for example detected by a radar, while the Image capture can be done by an independent camera.
  • selecting an image or fraction of an image two-dimensional improvement is placed under the control of a infringement done on the improved two-dimensional image itself (failure to wearing a seatbelt, holding a mobile phone, etc., who can be detected by means of image processing performed on the plurality of images captured or on the image or fractional image enhanced obtained).
  • it can be transmitted, via a data transmission channel digital data, at least the digital data of the first image or two-dimensional image fraction improved.
  • the method it is possible to capture the plurality of successive images of the vehicle from a remote location, height and / or laterally, with respect to the axis of said trajectory of moving the vehicle. This capture can be done for example from a bridge overlooking the traffic lanes. In such a case, one can perform, when digitally processing the plurality of images a at least partial recovery of images or image fractions two-dimensional enhanced.
  • a radar 1 comprising an antenna radar 2 installed at the edge of a road 3 and driven by a control unit of radar 4.
  • the radar 1 is for example a radar adapted to perform speed checks.
  • the radar is associated with a detection field corresponding to a beam of waves emitted by the antenna 2 and delimited by an upstream beam 5 and a downstream radius 6.
  • the radar 1 is connected by a link 7 to an identification device 8 of traveling vehicles arranged according to the invention.
  • the control unit 4 of the radar 1 transmits on this link signals to a box of control 9 of the device 8.
  • the device 8 comprises a digital video camera 10.
  • This camera 10 is for example of the type CCD ("Charge-Coupled Device") or CMOS ("Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor").
  • the angle of image capture ⁇ of the camera 10 relative to the road 3 is fixed.
  • the camera 10 is adapted to capture successive images of the field of view, for example one image every 20 milliseconds, and this on reception of a command of shots coming from the box order 9.
  • the device 8 comprises an image processing module 11 operating on images captured by the camera 10 and delivering images or improved image fractions, obtained from the images taken by the camera 10.
  • the device 8 furthermore comprises a memory 12 making it possible to store images.
  • the device 8 also comprises a transmission block 13, which transmits data on a digital data transmission channel 14, to a national center for the exploitation of these data.
  • the communication link 14 may be dedicated, for example a optical fiber, or a radio link, or can be a great radio link GPRS-type public service, reducing transmission costs and installation.
  • the waves reflected by a vehicle 16 traveling on the road 3 are picked up by the antenna 2 as soon as the vehicle reaches the position 16a shown dashed in the single figure, in which the vehicle crosses the line corresponding to the upstream radius 5. These reflected waves are analyzed in the control unit 4, which calculates the speed of the vehicle 16, and compares this calculated speed with a predefined maximum speed.
  • the vehicle 16 From the entry of the vehicle 16 into the detection field of the radar 1, it sends to the control box 9 of the device 8 a signal, causing the sending from the housing 9 to the camera 10 of a control of shots.
  • the camera 10 Upon receipt of this order, either from the entrance of the vehicle 16 in the detection field of the radar, the camera 10 captures a plurality images of the vehicle as it progresses along Route 3, by example a dozen images. All of these images are stored in the memory 12.
  • the radar 1 sends to destination of the control box 9 of the device 8 a signal indicating the infringement of speed V.
  • the box 9 transmits an order identification to the vehicle / driver identification sub-module 11a of the image processing module 11.
  • the identification sub-module 11a Upon receipt of this command, the identification sub-module 11a applies digital processing to all the images E stored in the memory 12 and recorded from the vehicle entrance 16 in the detection field. This treatment makes it possible first of all to isolate the zone corresponding to the license plate on these images, by referring to a base, stored in memory 12, of standard plate models. Then, it carries out a processing by association of data coming from different images of the set E, making it possible to improve the resolution of the zone corresponding to the plate and to extract an image fraction F plate , of this zone representing the license plate with optimized resolution.
  • a character recognition program can then be applied to the F- plate image fraction.
  • This character recognition program provides N number of license estimated from the fraction F image plate, with a confidence score associated P N.
  • the submodule 11a applies a digital treatment to all the images E making it possible first of all to isolate the driver's face from the vehicle 16 and to evaluate its size (in a other embodiment, it can isolate the representation of the windshield of the vehicle and what appears through it). It thus determines an image I among the considered image set on which the driver's face is most apparent (the face is reproduced with the maximum number of pixels). Then he applies on the area of the image I corresponding to the isolated face, a treatment to improve the resolution of this area, by association of data from several images of the set E. It thus extracts a fraction of image F face representing the driver's face, more clearly than in image I.
  • the techniques for increasing the resolution are, for example, Hyper-resolution techniques of the type described in the document FR 2 812 157.
  • the set of digital data corresponding to the image I, to the estimated registration number N with the associated confidence score P N , to the image fractions F plate and F face , and to the speed violation V are then selected and assembled, then delivered by the control box 9 to the transmission block 13.
  • the transmission block 13 compresses, formats the data, then sends, via the communication link 14, the operating center 15.
  • the administrative operations for example: editing and recording the report infringement comprising the data sent by the transmission block 13, the amount of the fine corresponding to the infringement committed by the driver of the vehicle 16, determination of the driver's from the estimated number of the license plate and sending the statement infringement.
  • the image processing module 11 further comprises a sub-module 11b for determining the absence of the port of belt.
  • This submodule 11b systematically applies to the images of a set E relating to any vehicle 16 'entering the detection field of the radar 1, a digital processing to isolate the area corresponding to the seat belt and determine the presence or absence of this around the driver's body. This determination is for example carried out using standard models (possibly obtained by learning) stored in memory 12.
  • the sub-module 11b determines the image in the set E on which the bust of the driver is most visible (zone of the belt corresponding to a number maximum of pixels), then applies a processing on this zone, by association of successive images in order to improve the resolution. He gets a fraction of the image F girded .
  • the module 11b can first extract the image fraction F girded , then determine on this improved image fraction, the presence or absence of this belt around the driver's body so the case appropriate to highlight an offense.
  • control box 9 supplies to the transmission block 13 the data corresponding to the image I, to the estimated registration number N with the associated confidence score P N , to the image fractions F plate , F face and Fceint relative to the vehicle 16 '.
  • the module 11 of the device 8 may comprise additional sub-modules adapted to perform digital processing on images of a set E in order to extracting images or fractions of images representing various types infringement, for example, the presence in the hand of a driver of a mobile phone, the distance between two successive vehicles, or any offense likely to be detected from the images provided, in particular what is likely to appear through the windshield of a vehicle.
  • the detection of the presence of an offense can be carried out from the set of images E, either directly on one of these images, or on images or fractions of improved images provided, for example, by the processing module 11, as in the case of highlighting a offense due to the absence of a belt.
  • She can in another mode of realization to be performed independently of the set of images E, by for example by equipment external to the device 8 according to the invention, by radar as in the case of the speed described above, or by GSM transmitters, position or distance detectors, etc.
  • digital processing on a set of images E relating to a vehicle 16 are performed by the vehicle / driver identification sub-module 11a after finding an offense.
  • this treatment is carried out independently so as not to cumulate the necessary time on the one hand to determine the offense, on the other hand to the vehicle / driver identification, the selection of the data to be associated with the infringement notice in case of infringement then being carried out by the case of control 9 of the device 8 according to the invention.
  • the camera in relation to the road taken by the vehicle in displacement can be positioned in various ways.
  • the digital processing performed may further include operations intended to correct at least partially the images or two-dimensional image fractions obtained according to the invention. These are then more exploitable later.
  • a method and a device according to the invention therefore automating the identification of a vehicle, and identifying of various offenses, by providing two-dimensional representations desired matches.
  • the rate of non-exploitability of the data provided is very low, because seeks to optimize the images taken by the camera. Treatments can be done in near real time.
  • the number of data transmitted by way of transmission is already limited (by selecting relevant fractional images) and may still be reduced by compression techniques.
  • the digital data sent on the transmission channel (s) with a very small volume and good quality.
