DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a violating vehicle analyzing apparatus for detecting various violating vehicles such as an axle load violation, a speed violation and the like, and analyzing a vehicle that repeatedly violates the violation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, at a tollgate such as a highway,
Axle load is measured to prevent vehicles from entering beyond the specified axle load. As a result, vehicles that exceed the prescribed axle load will be warned to leave the expressway at the next toll booth, and the entire vehicle, driver and axle load violation data will be displayed in silver halide photographs. It is to be taken.

[0003] Since axle load violations are frequently repeated, the road manager issues a warning letter to a vehicle owner who has violated a predetermined number of times or more to warn of a violation. doing.

Such an axle load violating vehicle photographing apparatus is configured as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, for example. FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a conventional offending vehicle photographing apparatus 1. FIG. 13 is a schematic block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the offending vehicle photographing apparatus 1 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the axle load violation vehicle photographing apparatus 1 confirms a load plate 3 for measuring the axle load of a vehicle approaching a tollgate 2 and a position of a vehicle to be photographed. Fixed position sensor 4 and camera 5 for photographing the vehicle
And a printer 6 provided in the tollgate 2, a warning plate 7 provided outside the tollgate 2, and an instruction control device 8.

The toll booth 2 is usually provided for an interchange on a highway or a plurality of lanes arranged on a main line, and is configured so that various vehicles pass through to pay a toll. . Here, the tollgate 2 where the axle load violation vehicle photographing device 1 is provided is:
In particular, the present invention may be limited to only toll booths where large freight vehicles, in which axle load violation is a problem, pass.

The load plate 3 is disposed so as to substantially coincide with the road surface, and the axle of the axle located on the load plate 3 when a vehicle entering the toll gate 2 passes over the load plate 3. And outputs the axle weight data to the instruction control device 8 as shown in FIG. In the case shown in the figure, the loading plate 3 is disposed, for example, at a position a predetermined distance before the tollgate 2.

The fixed position sensor 4 outputs a vehicle detection signal when the offending vehicle comes to a position suitable for photographing when the axle load measured by the loading plate 3 exceeds a specified value. It is. The fixed position detector 4 is, for example, a tollgate 2
Is located at a position a predetermined distance before.

The camera 5 is a camera using a normal silver halide film, and when the fixed position sensor 4 detects that the vehicle to be photographed (violating vehicle) is at a fixed position suitable for photographing, For example, it is arranged at a position at a predetermined height at a position at a predetermined distance in front of the tollgate 2 so as to photograph the offending vehicle. Here, the camera 5 receives the axial load measured by the loading plate 3 from the instruction control device 8,
The axle load, date and time, and place (tollgate name and lane name) are simultaneously printed.

When the axle load measured by the loading plate 3 is equal to or greater than a specified value, the printer 6
And prints violation data such as date and time, place, and axle load based on the instruction.

The warning plate 7 is arranged at a position where the tollgate 2 can be easily seen.
An indication such as "excess of axle load" is displayed.

An axle load violation vehicle photographing apparatus 1 having such a configuration.
According to the above, when a vehicle violating the axle weight enters the tollgate 2, each axle of the vehicle is sequentially placed on the loading plate 3, and the axle weight of each axle is measured.

When the axle load measured by the loading plate 3 is input to the instruction control device 8, the instruction control device 8 determines whether or not the axle load is equal to or more than a specified value. In the above case, based on the vehicle detection signal from the fixed position sensor 4, the camera 5 takes an image of the entire offending vehicle. At the same time, the instruction control device 8 prints the axle load data from the loading plate 3 at that time, the date and time, and the location of the tollgate (hereinafter, violation data) by the printer 6, and
The warning plate 7 indicates that the axle load is excessive.

Thus, the clerk at the tollgate 2 hands the violation data printed by the printer 6 to the driver,
It warns you to leave the expressway at the next tollgate.

On the other hand, the film taken by the camera 5 of the offending vehicle is collected periodically (for example, once a month), and the camera 5 is loaded with a new film. After the recovered film is developed, the quality of the image is determined based on the negative. In addition, the negative part where the image is determined to be defective is excluded from the subsequent processing by, for example, punching a punch hole.

Next, good negative parts are sorted out, and the operator visually reads the negatives to read the data of the offending vehicle, that is, the registration number, the date and time of the violation, the axle weight, and the location. Then, data is input by a personal computer or the like. Then, the input data is compiled at a plurality of toll gates and processed by a large computer or the like operated by a road manager to create data on the offending vehicle. Then, the road manager analyzes the vehicle that has violated the axle load more than a predetermined number of times from the data using the large computer, and issues a warning letter to warn the vehicle owner of the violation. .

Incidentally, the negative is stored for a predetermined period, and a photograph is printed on a good negative portion, and the photograph is also stored for a predetermined period.

Therefore, the number and cost of maintenance and management of these negatives and photographs become enormous, and the reading and inputting of the data of the offending vehicle by the negatives are performed manually, which requires considerable time and effort. However, there is a problem that rapid processing is difficult.

[0019]

Therefore, the present inventor has proposed:
Instead of the camera 5 using the silver halide film, an image of the offending vehicle is picked up by an image pickup means such as a CCD camera, and image data indicating an image including the registration number mark of the offending vehicle is obtained. The inventor devised a violating vehicle analyzing apparatus which reads out all of the registration numbers indicated on the registration number label, processes the data of the registration number by a computer, and analyzes the vehicle which violated a predetermined number of times.

According to the violating vehicle analyzing apparatus, manual maintenance and management of negatives and photographs, and manual reading and input of data of violating vehicles from the negatives become unnecessary, and the analysis of vehicles violating a predetermined number of times is completely completed. Can be automated.

Here, the registration number mark of the automobile will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a schematic plan view showing a registration number mark.

As shown in FIG. 14, the registration number mark 9 is formed on a horizontally long rectangular flat plate, and has a land transportation branch office name 9a, a use number 9b at the top, a hiragana character 9c at the left, and a large number in the center. 9d is described, and these constitute a registration number as a whole.

The land transportation branch office name 9a is composed of 1 to 4 characters in kanji or hiragana, and describes the name of the land transportation branch office where the vehicle is registered. The application number 9b is currently formed of a two-digit number and is defined according to the type of the vehicle. The Hiragana character 9c is currently composed of Hiragana or one letter of the alphabet. The serial number 9d is composed of four large numbers. When the number of digits is small, instead of "0", "."
Is used.

However, even though the image processing technology has advanced remarkably, all of the registration numbers (land transportation branch office name 9
a, use number 9b, hiragana character 9c, serial number 9d)
It is impossible to read.

[0025] Therefore, in the above-mentioned fully-automated violating vehicle analyzing apparatus, it is inevitable that the owner of a vehicle that does not violate is warned erroneously.
Even if the probability of false alerts being low, false alerts for violations cannot be tolerated.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is possible to greatly reduce the number of steps for analyzing a vehicle that repeatedly violates a violation, and sufficiently secure the reliability of the analysis. It is an object of the present invention to provide a violating vehicle analysis device capable of performing the above.

[0027]

According to the first aspect, the partial number which is a part of the registration number is read by the image processing means based on the image data of the offending vehicle imaged by the imaging means,
The partial number and the corresponding image data are stored in the storage unit in association with each other. When the number of image data associated with the same partial number data among the image data stored in the storage means is a predetermined number or more, the selection means selects the image data of the predetermined number or more. . That is, the image data corresponding to the vehicle that may have violated the predetermined number of times or more is selected by the selection unit. Then, each vehicle image indicated by each image data selected by the selection unit is displayed by the display means.

Therefore, it is not necessary to manually maintain the negatives and photographs, and it is necessary to manually input data such as registration numbers for all vehicles (all violating vehicles) photographed as in the prior art. Only the image of the vehicle that may have violated the predetermined number of times will be displayed by the display means, and for example, the worker can visually confirm the image and confirm and grasp the vehicle that violated the predetermined number of times. Can be. And, when the image processing means reads a part of the registration number from the image data, the reading accuracy is remarkably improved compared to the case where the registration number is partially read from the image data. Image data can be appropriately selected.

Therefore, according to the first aspect, manual maintenance and management of negatives and photographs is not required, and the number of data input operations is greatly reduced. Since not all images are viewed but only the images of vehicles that may have violated a predetermined number of times or more, the number of operations for checking images by visual inspection is small. As a result, the number of steps for analyzing the vehicle that repeatedly violates is greatly reduced. Further, since the operator finally confirms the image by visually checking the image of the vehicle, it is possible to sufficiently secure the reliability of the analysis of the vehicle that repeatedly violates.

The second aspect is a specific example of the first aspect, in which the violation data on the offending vehicle detected by the detection units provided at a plurality of locations is,
This specifies an example sent to one analysis unit. In the second aspect, the data detected by the plurality of detection units is sent to one analysis unit, so that the data is intensively analyzed by the one analysis unit. Therefore, an operator is required only for the analysis unit, which saves labor and greatly improves work efficiency.

In the second aspect, the analysis unit has an image processing means. However, in the first aspect, the image processing means may be included in each detection unit instead. Good.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the violating vehicle analyzing apparatus according to the first or second aspect, wherein the selecting means is newly stored in the storage means by the writing means. Determining, with respect to the partial number data associated with the image data, whether or not the number of image data associated with the partial number data among the image data stored in the storage means is equal to or greater than a predetermined number Is used to make the selection.

In the third aspect, the image data is selected for the partial number data associated with the image data newly stored by the writing means, so that the image data can be efficiently selected. . However, in the first and second aspects, the selection unit may perform the selection, for example, every predetermined time for all partial number data stored in the storage unit.

According to the sixth aspect, the partial number which is a part of the registration number is read by the image processing means based on the image data of the offending vehicle imaged by the imaging means,
The partial number and the corresponding image data are stored in the storage unit in association with each other.

With respect to the image data associated with the same partial number data among the image data stored in the storage means, the number of image data of the same vehicle can be more than a predetermined number in consideration of the additional number data. If there is a
Image data having no associated additional number data among the image data is selected by the selection unit. That is,
Regarding image data for which additional number data has not yet been associated (that is, no additional number data has been input), the additional number of the vehicle can be any number, and the additional number data has already been associated ( That is, regarding the image data for which the additional number data has already been input), it is assumed that the additional number of the vehicle has been determined, and the image data is associated with the same partial number data in consideration of the possibility of matching of the additional number. When there is a possibility that the image data of the same vehicle is equal to or more than a predetermined number of image data, the selection unit 25 selects image data having no related additional number data among the image data. In other words, among the image data corresponding to the vehicles that may have violated the predetermined number of times or more in consideration of the additional number data, the image data for which the additional number data has not yet been input is selected by the selection unit. .

Then, the vehicle image indicated by the image data selected by the selection section is displayed by the display means. The operator inputs additional number data indicating the additional number read from the image displayed by the display means through the additional data input means. The additional number data is stored in the storage unit by the additional writing unit in association with the corresponding image data.

By the above operation, the image data for which the additional number data has not yet been input among the image data corresponding to the vehicle that may have violated the predetermined number of times is picked up by the selection unit and displayed as an image on the display unit. As for the image data, the additional number data is input by the additional data input means, and the additional number data is associated by the additional writing means. Accordingly, the image data corresponding to the vehicle that may have violated the predetermined number of times is associated with the additional number data read and input by the operator from the image.

The determination means determines whether or not the number of image data (associated with the same vehicle) is equal to or greater than a predetermined number. In the case of the above violation), the data regarding the offending vehicle is output by the output unit. The data regarding the offending vehicle is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, partial number data and image data of the offending vehicle. The data output from the output unit is, for example, printed on paper, or stored in an auxiliary storage unit other than the storage unit, and can be appropriately processed by another processing device or the like. This can be used as data for creating a warning letter.

Therefore, according to the sixth aspect, it is not necessary to manually maintain the negatives and photographs, and all registration numbers for all vehicles (all offense vehicles) photographed as in the prior art are used. Without manually inputting the data of the vehicle, only those images of the vehicle that may have violated the predetermined number of times or more and for which the additional number data has not yet been input are displayed by the display means. By simply looking at and inputting only the additional number related thereto, the vehicle that violated a predetermined number of times or more is automatically analyzed. And, when the image processing means reads a part of the registration number from the image data, the reading accuracy is remarkably improved compared to the case where the registration number is partially read from the image data. Image data can be appropriately selected.

Therefore, according to the sixth aspect, the maintenance and management of negatives and photographs by hand becomes unnecessary, and the number of data input operations is greatly reduced. Instead of viewing all the images, only the images of the vehicle that may have violated the predetermined number of times or more and only the additional number data has not been input will be viewed, so the visual confirmation work of the images There is little trouble. As a result, the number of steps for analyzing the vehicle that repeatedly violates is greatly reduced. In addition, based on the part number having extremely high reading accuracy and the additional number confirmed by the operator visually checking the image of the vehicle, the vehicle violating a predetermined number of times or more is automatically analyzed. The reliability of the analysis can be sufficiently ensured.

As described above, according to the sixth aspect, it is possible to greatly reduce the number of steps required for analyzing a vehicle that repeatedly violates the vehicle, thereby enabling quick processing and improving the reliability of the analysis. Can be sufficiently secured.

In the first mode, the operator may visually confirm the same image many times, whereas in the sixth mode, the operator may visually check the image once. This is more preferable because it is not necessary to visually confirm the image to which the number data has been input again. Further, in the sixth aspect, the image data of the vehicle violating the predetermined number of times or more is associated not only with the partial number data but also with the additional number data. Is also preferred because it can also be used.

Regarding the image data associated with the data, there is a possibility that the number of image data of the same vehicle becomes more than a predetermined number in consideration of the additional number data set in the confirmation information. If, is to select the image data confirmation information is not set associated one of the image data.

According to the eleventh aspect, the partial number which is a part of the registration number and the additional number which is another part of the registration number are displayed on the basis of the image data of the offending vehicle imaged by the imaging means. The partial number, the additional number, and the corresponding image data are read by the processing unit and stored in the storage unit in association with each other.

Then, regarding the image data associated with the same partial number data among the image data stored in the storage means, the image data of the same vehicle is considered in consideration of the additional number data set with the confirmation information. Is more than a predetermined number, the selection unit selects image data for which no related confirmation information is set from the image data. That is, for image data for which additional number data for which confirmation information has been set is not yet associated (ie, addition, correction, or confirmation of additional number data has not yet been completed), the additional number of the vehicle can be any number. In addition, the additional number of the vehicle is determined for the image data that is associated with the additional number data for which the confirmation information is already set (that is, the addition, correction, or confirmation of the additional number data is already completed). In consideration of the possibility of matching of the additional numbers, if there is a possibility that the image data of the same vehicle may become a predetermined number or more with respect to the image data associated with the same partial number data, The image data in which the related confirmation information is not set among the data is selected by the selection unit. In other words, the addition, correction or confirmation of the additional number data has not yet been completed among the image data corresponding to the vehicles that may have violated the predetermined number of times or more in consideration of the additional number data for which addition, correction or confirmation has been completed. The unselected image data is selected by the selection unit.

In response to the addition or correction by the addition / correction writing means or in response to the match confirmation command, confirmation information is set by the confirmation information setting means for the corresponding additional number data. Therefore, the additional number data in which the confirmation information is set means that the additional number data is in a correct state after the operator visually checks the image of the vehicle.

With the above operation, the selection unit picks up the image data for which additional number data has not yet been added, corrected, and confirmed among the image data corresponding to the vehicle that may have violated the predetermined number of times. The image data is displayed by the display unit, and the image data is added, corrected or confirmed by the addition / correction / confirmation operation means and the addition / correction writing means, and the confirmation information is set by the confirmation information setting means. . Therefore, the image data corresponding to the vehicle that may have violated the predetermined number of times is associated with the additional number data read, added, corrected or confirmed by the operator from the image.

Then, the image data stored in the storage means is associated with the same partial number data and the additional number data set with the confirmation information (that is, the additional number is the same registered number which has been confirmed). The determination unit determines whether or not the number of image data (associated with the same vehicle) is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, and determines that the number is equal to or greater than the predetermined number (that is,
When the same vehicle violates a predetermined number of times or more), data relating to the violating vehicle is output by the output unit. The data regarding the offending vehicle is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, partial number data and image data of the offending vehicle. The data output from the output unit is, for example, printed on paper, or stored in an auxiliary storage unit other than the storage unit, and can be appropriately processed by another processing device or the like. This can be used as data for creating a warning letter.

Therefore, according to the eleventh aspect,
It is not necessary to manually maintain the negatives and photos, and a predetermined number of times without manually inputting data such as registration numbers for all vehicles (all offending vehicles) taken as in the past. Only those images of vehicles that may have violated the above but for which additional number data has not yet been added, corrected, or confirmed are displayed by the display means. By simply adding, correcting or confirming, the analysis of the vehicle violating a predetermined number of times or more is automatically performed. And, when the image processing means reads a part of the registration number from the image data, the reading accuracy is remarkably improved compared to the case where the registration number is partially read from the image data. Image data can be appropriately selected.

Therefore, according to the eleventh aspect, manual maintenance and management of negatives and photographs is not required, and the number of data input operations is greatly reduced.
Instead of viewing all the images obtained by the imaging means, visualize only those images of vehicles that may have violated a predetermined number of times or more and for which additional number data has not yet been added, corrected or confirmed. Therefore, the number of operations for confirming the image by visual inspection is small. As a result, the number of steps for analyzing the vehicle that repeatedly violates is greatly reduced. In addition, based on the part number having extremely high reading accuracy and the additional number confirmed by the operator visually checking the image of the vehicle, the vehicle violating a predetermined number of times or more is automatically analyzed. The reliability of the analysis can be sufficiently ensured.

As described above, according to the eleventh aspect,
The number of steps required to analyze a vehicle that repeatedly violates the vehicle can be greatly reduced, and prompt processing can be performed, and the reliability of the analysis can be sufficiently ensured.

In the first mode, the operator may visually confirm the same image many times, whereas in the eleventh mode, the operator may visually check the image once and add it. It is more preferable that the image on which the number data has been added, corrected or confirmed does not need to be visually confirmed again. Further, in the eleventh aspect, the image data of the vehicle violating the predetermined number of times or more is associated with not only the partial number data but also the confirmed additional number data. This is preferable because additional number data can also be used.

Although the eleventh aspect is basically the same as the sixth aspect, in the sixth aspect, when an image of a vehicle is displayed by the display means, In the eleventh aspect, when an image of a vehicle is displayed by the display means, addition, correction, or confirmation of the additional number is performed with respect to the image, whereas input of the additional number data is always required. Since it is good, the number of operators is further reduced.

FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure stored in the storage unit 24.

The offending vehicle analyzing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment.
Is configured to detect and analyze an axle load violating vehicle as a violating vehicle. As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of detection units 11 provided at a plurality of locations and a single analysis unit 20 are used. It is configured. However, in the present invention, depending on the application, only one detection unit 11 may be used.

Each detection unit 11 is installed, for example, in each lane or a predetermined lane of a tollgate such as an expressway. The analysis unit 20 may be installed in an office or the like of a tollgate, or may be installed in a management center or the like provided in one place for a plurality of tollgates such as one expressway. Good. Accordingly, in the office of the tollgate, the management center, or the like, the analysis of the offending vehicle in each detection unit 11 can be centrally managed, and labor can be saved.

As shown in FIG. 1, each detection unit 11 includes a detection unit 12, a violation data output unit 13, an imaging unit 14 such as a CCD camera, and a transmission unit 15.

The detector 12 measures the axle load of the vehicle running on the lane, and when the axle load value exceeds a specified value, determines that the axle load is violated and outputs a detection signal.

The violating data output unit 13 includes a detecting unit 12
Detects an axle load violation, outputs the date and time and place (for example, tollgate name and lane name) and, if necessary, the axle load value and the like as violation data.

The imaging unit 14 captures an image of the offending vehicle in response to the detection signal from the detection unit 12, and obtains image data indicating an image including the registration number mark of the offending vehicle.

The transmission unit 15 is provided with the violation data output unit 13
And the image data from the imaging unit 14
The receiving unit 2 provided on the analysis unit 20 side is encoded into a format suitable for transmission and is transmitted using an appropriate means, for example, a general public line or a dedicated line, or is transmitted wirelessly.
Send to 1.

As a specific configuration of such a detection unit 11, for example, in the conventional violating vehicle photographing apparatus shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the silver halide film camera 5 is replaced by a CCD camera or the like. A configuration in which the transmission unit 15 is added can be adopted.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the analyzing unit 20 includes a receiving unit 21, an image processing unit 22, and a writing unit 23.
, Storage unit 24, selection unit 25, display unit 26, alarm unit 26a, operation unit 27, output unit 28, and deletion unit 29.
And

The receiving section 21 receives the violating data and the image data transmitted from the transmitting section 15 of each detecting unit 11, returns the data to the original format by decoding, and sends it to the image processing section 22 and the writing section 23. . In the present embodiment,
The structure of the data received by the receiver 21 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 3A for one violation of one offending vehicle (that is, for one imaging). Although not shown in FIG. 3A, data such as an axle weight value is added as necessary as part of the offending vehicle data.

The image processing section 22 reads, based on the image data from the receiving section 21, a partial number which is a part of the registration number written on the registration number mark of the offending vehicle by pattern recognition, and reads the partial number. Part number data indicating a part number is obtained. In the present embodiment, a 4-digit serial number (in FIG. 14, reference numeral 9d is attached) is used as the partial number.

The writing unit 23 stores the image data and the violation data from the receiving unit 21 and the corresponding partial number data obtained by the image processing unit 22 in the storage unit 24 in association with each other.

The storage section 24 stores the image data written by the writing section 23 and the partial number data and violation data associated therewith. In the present embodiment, the structure of data stored in storage unit 24 is as shown in FIG.
(B). For convenience of explanation, FIG.
Each piece of data (partial number data, date data, time data, location data, image data) in one row in (b) is associated with each other, and is referred to as a record for convenience of explanation. Therefore, the data of one record is composed of partial number data, date data, time data, location data, and image data that are associated with one another for one violation of one offending vehicle. Although not shown in FIG. 3B, data such as axle weight is added to the data of one record as necessary as part of the offending vehicle data. Further, in the present embodiment, each record is partially sorted by number data (in this embodiment, a serial number) in order to facilitate various processes described later.

When the number of image data associated with the same partial number data among the image data stored in the storage unit 24 is a predetermined number or more, the selection unit 25 Select data. In other words, when the number of records having the same partial number data is a predetermined number or more, each image data included in the predetermined number or more records is selected. This predetermined number is appropriately determined according to the number of times or more that the violating vehicle is analyzed.
In the following description, it is assumed that the vehicle that violates the vehicle three or more times is analyzed. Therefore, in the following description, the predetermined number is “3”. For example, if data as shown in FIG. 3B is stored in the storage unit 24, the number of image data of the records R1, R2, and R3 having the serial number "... 1" is three. , The selection unit 25 selects three image data of the records R1, R2, and R3.

In the present embodiment, the selecting section 25 stores the partial number data associated with the image data newly stored in the storage section 24 by the writing section 23.
Is selected by determining whether or not the number of image data associated with the partial number data among the image data stored in. In other words, a new record is newly stored in the storage unit 24 by the writing unit 23.
Is stored in the selection unit 25, the selection unit 25 determines whether the number of records having the same partial number data as the partial number data of the record is a predetermined number or more. Each image data included in the record is selected. For example, when the data stored in the storage unit 24 becomes as shown in FIG. 3B by newly storing the record R3 in the storage unit 24, the serial number “. The number of the image data of the records R1, R2, and R3 having the same serial number “... 1” as “3” is three.
2 and R3 are selected.
In this case, the image data is selected for the partial number data associated with the image data newly stored by the writing unit 23, so that the image data can be efficiently selected. However, the selection means, for example,
The selection may be made for all partial number data stored in the storage unit 24 at predetermined time intervals.

The display unit 26 displays each image indicated by each image data selected by the selection unit 25 and, if necessary, partial number data and violation data. In this case, each image may be displayed on the same screen at the same time, or may be displayed on the screen sequentially.

When the selecting section 25 selects the image data, the alarm section 26a issues an alarm indicating that the image data has been selected.
This alarm may be any alarm such as sounding of an alarm sound or displaying an alarm on the screen of the display unit 26.

When the number of images of the same vehicle having the same registration number mark is a predetermined number, for example, three or more, among the images displayed on the display unit 26, the operation unit 27 is operated by an operator. A confirmation command is output to the output unit 28.

The output unit 28 outputs data on the offending vehicle in response to a confirmation command from the operation unit 27. This output is, for example, printed out by a printer or recorded on a large-capacity auxiliary storage medium such as a magneto-optical disk or a removable hard disk, or directly transmitted for data transmission to a large computer system or the like for issuing a warning letter. It is.

When the output unit 28 outputs the data, the deletion unit 29 deletes the record relating to the offending vehicle from the storage unit 24. Further, the deletion unit 29 checks the date data of each record stored in the storage unit 24 periodically or in response to an operator's instruction, and deletes the date data for a predetermined period, for example, three years or more from this date. , Delete the record.

The above-described elements 23, 25, 29, etc. are actually realized by the operation of a computer according to a program.

Next, an example of the operation of the offending vehicle analyzing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the detection unit 12 of the detection unit 11 detects an axle load violation vehicle and outputs a detection signal (step S).
1) and in response to this detection signal, the image capturing unit 14 captures an image of the offending vehicle, obtains image data indicating an image including the registration number mark of the offending vehicle, and outputs the image data.
3 outputs violation data (step S2). Thereby, the transmission unit 15 transmits the image data and the violation data to the reception unit 21 of the analysis unit 20 (Step S3).

On the other hand, the receiving unit 21 of the analyzing unit 20 receives the image data and the violation data (see FIG. 3A) from the transmitting unit 15 of the detecting unit 11 (Step S4).

The image processing section 22 receives the image data from the receiving section 21 and, based on the image data, a partial number (the book number) which is a part of the registration number indicated on the registration number mark of the offending vehicle. In the embodiment, a 4-digit serial number is read by pattern recognition, and the serial number (for example, “•”) is read.
.. 1 ”) (step S)
5).

Next, the writing section 23 stores the image data and the violation data from the receiving section 21 and the corresponding partial number data obtained by the image processing section 22 in the storage section 24 in association with each other. (Step S6). In this step S6, for example, the record R in FIG.
3 is newly stored in the storage unit 24, and the data stored in the storage unit 24 becomes as shown in FIG.

As described above, when the offending vehicle is detected, the writing of the data on the offending vehicle into the storage unit 24 is completed.

Thereafter, the selecting unit 25 determines, with respect to the partial number data associated with the image data newly stored in the storage unit 24 in step S6, the partial number data of the image data stored in the storage unit 24. It is determined whether the number of image data associated with the data is three or more (step S7). In other words, the selecting unit 25 determines whether or not the number of records having the same partial number data as the partial number data of the record newly stored in the storage unit 24 in step S6 is three or more. . If NO, the image data associated with the partial number data is not the image data corresponding to the vehicle that may have violated three or more times, so the process returns to step S1 without selecting the image data. .

On the other hand, if YES is determined in the step S7, each image data associated with the partial number data is each image data corresponding to a vehicle which may have violated three or more times. Selection of Each Image Data by the Selection Unit 25 (Step S8) When the selection unit 25 selects each image data, the alarm unit 26a issues an alarm to the effect that the selection has been made (Step S8).
9) The display unit 26 displays the image (image including the registration number mark of the offending vehicle) indicated by each image data selected in step S8 (step S10), and waits for confirmation by the operator.

The worker observes the display unit 26 in response to the alarm generated by the alarm unit 26a, and observes each image (especially, a registration number mark) displayed on the display unit 26, thereby displaying the violation indicated by each image. For the vehicle, it is determined whether or not there are three or more images of the same vehicle. If there are three or more images, a confirmation operation (including an operation of selecting the three or more images) on the operation unit 27 is performed. )I do. As a result, the operation unit 27 outputs a confirmation command to the output unit 28, and proceeds from step S11 to step S12.

When there are two or less images of the same vehicle with respect to the offending vehicle indicated by each image, the operator performs an unconfirmed operation on the operation unit 27. Thus, the process returns from step S11 to step S1.

When a confirmation command is output from the operation unit 27,
In response to the confirmation command, the output unit 28 outputs data on the offending vehicle (data corresponding to the image selected by the operator indicated by the confirmation command), for example, three or more records on the offending vehicle. (Step S1
2).

When the output unit 28 outputs the data on the offending vehicle, the deletion unit 29 receives the data and stores the data on the offending vehicle and the record corresponding to the image selected by the worker indicated by the confirmation instruction. It is deleted from the unit 24 (step S13), and the process returns to step S1.

Although not shown in the flow chart shown in FIG. 2, as described above, the deleting unit 29 periodically or in response to a command from the worker, deletes the date of each record stored in the storage unit 24. The data is checked, and records for which a predetermined period, for example, three years or more have passed since this date, are deleted.

According to the violating vehicle analyzing apparatus according to the present embodiment described above, it is not necessary to manually maintain the negatives and photographs, and all vehicles photographed as in the prior art (all violating vehicles). Without manually inputting data such as all of the registration numbers, only images of vehicles that may have violated a predetermined number of times or more will be displayed on the display unit 26. As a result, the vehicle violating the predetermined number of times can be confirmed and grasped. And, when the image processing unit 22 reads a part of the registration number from the image data, the reading accuracy is remarkably improved as compared with the case where the registration number is read from the image data. Image data can be appropriately selected. In particular, in the present embodiment, since the serial number represented by large characters is partially used, reading by the image processing means can be performed with high accuracy, which is preferable. However, the partial number is not limited to the serial number, and may be, for example, a combination of the serial number and the application number.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, manual maintenance and management of negatives and photographs is not required, and the number of data input operations is significantly reduced. Since not all images are viewed but only the images of vehicles that may have violated a predetermined number of times or more, the number of operations for checking images by visual inspection is small. As a result, the number of steps for analyzing the vehicle that repeatedly violates is greatly reduced. Further, since the operator finally confirms the image by visually checking the image of the vehicle, it is possible to sufficiently secure the reliability of the analysis of the vehicle that repeatedly violates.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to greatly reduce the number of steps required for analyzing a vehicle that repeatedly violates a violation, thereby enabling quick processing.
The reliability of the analysis can be sufficiently ensured.

In this embodiment, the alarm unit 26a,
Although an output unit 28, a deletion unit 29, and the like are provided, these are not always necessary.

The receiving section 41 receives the violating data and the image data transmitted from the transmitting section 15 of each detection unit 31, returns the data to the original format by decoding, and sends it to the image processing section 42 and the writing section 43. . In the present embodiment,
The structure of the data received by the receiver 41 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 6A for one violation of one violating vehicle (that is, for one imaging). Although not shown in FIG. 6A, data such as an axle weight value is added as necessary as part of the offending vehicle data.

The image processing section 42 reads a partial number which is a part of the registration number indicated on the registration number mark of the offending vehicle by pattern recognition based on the image data from the receiving section 41, and Part number data indicating a part number is obtained. In the present embodiment, a 4-digit serial number (in FIG. 14, reference numeral 9d is attached) is used as the partial number.

The writing section 43 stores the image data and the violation data from the receiving section 41 and the corresponding partial number data obtained by the image processing section 42 in the storage section 44 in association with each other.

The storage section 44 stores the image data written by the writing section 43, partial number data and violation data associated therewith, and additional number data associated therewith. The additional number data is a part of the registration number indicated on the registration number mark other than the partial number. In the present embodiment, since a serial number is used as a partial number, the additional number data is composed of application number data, hiragana character data, and land transportation branch office name data. In the present embodiment, the storage unit 44
The structure of the data stored in is shown in FIG. For convenience of description, each data (partial number data, date data, time data,
The location data, the image data, the application number data, the hiragana character data, and the land transportation branch office name data) are associated with each other, and are referred to as records for convenience of explanation. Therefore, the data of one record includes partial number data, date data, time data, location data, image data, application number data, hiragana character data, and the land transportation branch office which are associated with each other for one violation of one vehicle. Consists of name data. In FIG. 6B, the mark "!"
Indicates that data has not yet been input and has not been stored in the storage unit 44. Although not shown in FIG. 6B, data such as axle weights are added to the data of one record as necessary as part of the offending vehicle data.
Further, in the present embodiment, each record is partially sorted by number data (in this embodiment, a serial number) in order to facilitate various processes described later.

The selecting section 45 determines the image data of the same vehicle in consideration of the additional number data with respect to the image data associated with the same partial number data among the image data stored in the storage section 44. If there is a possibility that the number will exceed the number, image data having no associated additional number data is selected from the image data. That is, the additional number data is not yet associated (ie,
Regarding the record in which the additional number data is "!", The additional number data can be any number, and the additional number data is already associated (that is, the additional number data is "!"). Absent)
Regarding records, it is assumed that the additional number data is determined, and considering the possibility of matching of the additional number data, records with the same partial number data may have more than a predetermined number of records of the same vehicle If there is a possibility, the additional number data of the record is "!"
Is selected by the selecting unit 45. In other words, the image data to which the additional number data has not yet been input is selected by the selecting unit 45 from the image data corresponding to the vehicle that may have violated the predetermined number or more times in consideration of the additional number data. Become. This predetermined number is appropriately determined according to the number of times or more that the violating vehicle is analyzed. In the following description, it is assumed that the vehicle that violates the vehicle three or more times is analyzed. Therefore, in the following description, the predetermined number is “3”. For example, when data as shown in FIG. 6B is stored in the storage unit 44, regarding the records R11, R12, R13, and R14 having the serial number “. Since the additional number data may match, there may be three or more records of the same vehicle. Therefore, the records R11, R1
3, the image data of the record R14 in which the additional number data is “!” Is selected by the selection unit 45.

In the present embodiment, the selection unit 45 determines the partial number data associated with the image data newly stored in the storage unit 44 by the writing unit 43.
If the image data of the same vehicle is likely to be more than a predetermined number in consideration of the additional number data with respect to the image data associated with the partial number data among the image data stored in the The selection is performed by selecting image data having no associated additional number data among the data. In other words, when a new record is stored in the storage unit 44 by the writing unit 43, the selecting unit 45 determines whether a record having the same partial number data as the partial number data of the record matches the additional number data. In consideration of the possibility, if there is a possibility that the number of records of the same vehicle becomes equal to or more than a predetermined number, the image data of the record whose additional number data is “!” Is selected from the records. For example, when the data stored in the storage unit 44 becomes as shown in FIG. 6B by newly storing the record R14 in the storage unit 44, the serial number “. R11, R12, R1 having the same serial number "... 1"
For records 3 and R14, records R11, R13 and R14
Since there is a possibility that the additional number data may match, there is a possibility that the number of records of the same vehicle may be three or more. Therefore, among the records R11, R13, and R14, the record whose additional number data is "!" The image data of R14 is selected by the selection unit 45. However, selection section 4
5, the selection may be performed for every partial number data stored in the storage unit 44 at predetermined time intervals, for example.

The display unit displays the image indicated by the image data selected by the selection unit 45, and, if necessary, partial number data and violation data. In this case, each image may be displayed on the same screen at the same time, or may be displayed on the screen sequentially.

When the selecting section 45 selects the image data, the alarm section 46a generates an alarm indicating that the image data has been selected.
This alarm may be any alarm, such as sounding an alarm sound or displaying an alarm on the screen of the display unit 46.

The operation section 47 applies, for each image displayed on the display section 46, additional number data indicating the additional number indicated on the registration number mark of the offending vehicle read from the image, by an operator's operation. input.

The additional writing section 50 stores the additional number data input by the operation section 47 in the storage section 44 in association with the corresponding image data.

The determination section 51 determines whether or not the number of image data associated with the same partial number data and additional number data among the image data stored in the storage section 44 is a predetermined number or more. I do. In other words, the determination unit 51
Determines whether the number of records having the same partial number data and additional number data is equal to or greater than a predetermined number. That is, it is determined whether there is a violating vehicle violating the predetermined number of times or more.

In the present embodiment, the determination unit 51 determines the image data stored in the storage unit 44 for the partial number data associated with the additional number data newly stored in the storage unit 44 by the additional writing unit 50. The determination is made by determining whether the number of image data associated with the partial number data and the same additional number data among the data is equal to or greater than a predetermined number. In other words, when additional number data is newly stored in the storage unit 44 by the additional writing unit 50, the determination unit 51 stores the partial number data associated with the additional number data in the storage unit 44. It is determined whether or not the number of image data associated with the partial number data and the same additional number data among the existing image data is a predetermined number or more. However, the judgment unit 51
For example, the determination may be made for all the partial number data stored in the storage unit 44 at predetermined time intervals.

The output unit 48 outputs data relating to the offending vehicle when the determining unit 44 determines that the number is equal to or more than the predetermined number (ie, when the same vehicle violates the predetermined number of times). This output is, for example, printed out by a printer or recorded on a large-capacity auxiliary storage medium such as a magneto-optical disk or a removable hard disk, or directly transmitted for data transmission to a large computer system or the like for issuing a warning letter. It is.

When the output unit 48 outputs the data, the deletion unit 49 deletes the record relating to the offending vehicle from the storage unit 44. Further, the deletion unit 49 checks the date data of each record stored in the storage unit 44 periodically or in response to an operator's command, and deletes the date data for a predetermined period, for example, three years or more from this date. , Delete the record.

It should be noted that each of the elements 43, 45, 49,
50, 51, etc. are actually realized by the operation of the computer according to the program.

Next, an example of the operation of the offending vehicle analyzing apparatus 30 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the detection unit 12 of the detection unit 31 detects a vehicle violating axle load and outputs a detection signal (step S).
21), in response to this detection signal, the imaging unit 14 takes an image of the offending vehicle, obtains image data indicating an image including the registration number mark of the offending vehicle, and outputs the offending data to the offending data output unit 13. Output (Step S22). Thereby, the transmission unit 15 transmits the image data and the violation data to the reception unit 41 of the analysis unit 40 (Step S23).

On the other hand, the receiving unit 41 of the analyzing unit 40 receives the image data and the violation data (see FIG. 6A) from the transmitting unit 15 of the detecting unit 31 (step S24).

The image processing unit 42 receives the image data from the receiving unit 41 and, based on the image data, a partial number (the book number) which is a part of the registration number indicated on the registration number mark of the offending vehicle. In the embodiment, a 4-digit serial number is read by pattern recognition, and the serial number (for example, “•”) is read.
.. 1 ”) is obtained (step S2).
5).

Next, the writing section 43 stores the image data and the violation data from the receiving section 41 and the corresponding partial number data obtained by the image processing section 42 in the storage section 44 in association with each other. (Step S26).
In step S26, for example, the record R14 in FIG. 6B is newly stored in the storage unit 44, and
6 is as shown in FIG. 6B.

Thus, when the offending vehicle is detected, the writing of the data on the offending vehicle into the storage unit 44 is completed.

Thereafter, the selecting unit 45 determines, with respect to the partial number data associated with the image data newly stored in the storage unit 44 in step S26, the partial number data of the image data stored in the storage unit 44. Regarding the image data associated with the data, taking into account the additional number data,
It is determined whether there is a possibility that the number of image data of the same vehicle becomes three or more (step S27). In other words,
The selecting unit 45 considers the possibility of matching the additional number data with respect to the record having the same partial number data as the partial number data of the record newly stored in the storage unit 44 in step S26, and It is determined whether there is a possibility that the number of records becomes three or more. If NO
The image data associated with the partial number data is 3
Since the image data does not correspond to the vehicle that may have violated the number of times, the process returns to step S21 without selecting the image data.

On the other hand, if “YES” is determined in the step S27, since the image data associated with the partial number data includes the image data corresponding to the vehicle which may have violated three or more times, Image data of which additional number data does not exist among image data (that is, image data of a record where the additional number data is "!")
Is selected by the selection unit 45 (step S28).

When each image data is selected by the selection section 45, the alarm section 46a issues an alarm to the effect that the selection has been made (step S29), and the display section 46 displays the image indicated by the image data selected in step S28 (step S28). (Step S30), and waits for input of additional number data by the operator.

The operator observes the display unit 46 in response to the alarm generated by the alarm unit 46a and observes each image (especially, a registration number mark) displayed on the display unit 46, thereby checking each image. The operation unit 47 inputs additional number data indicating an additional number written on the registration number mark of the offending vehicle read from the image. In response, the additional writing unit 50 stores the additional number data in the storage unit 44 in association with the corresponding image data (step S3).
1).

Thereafter, the judgment section 51 sets the additional writing section 50
With regard to the partial number data associated with the additional number data newly stored in the storage unit 44 in step S31, the partial number data and the same additional number data among the image data stored in the storage unit 44 It is determined whether the number of associated image data (that is, image data of the same vehicle) is three or more (step S3).
2). If NO, the image data associated with the partial number data is not the image data corresponding to the vehicle that violated three or more times, and thus the process returns to step S21.

On the other hand, if YES is determined in step S32 (that is, if the same vehicle violates a predetermined number of times), the output unit 48 outputs data on the violating vehicle (corresponding to the three or more image data). For example, three or more records related to the offending vehicle are output (step S33).

When the output unit 48 outputs data on the offending vehicle, the deletion unit 49 receives the data and deletes data on the offending vehicle, for example, a record on the offending vehicle, from the storage unit 44 (step S34). ),
It returns to step S21.

Although not shown in the flow chart shown in FIG. 5, as described above, the deletion section 49 periodically or in response to an operator's instruction, deletes the date of each record stored in the storage section 44. The data is checked, and records for which a predetermined period, for example, three years or more have passed since this date, are deleted.

According to the violating vehicle analyzing apparatus according to the present embodiment described above, it is not necessary to manually maintain the negatives and photographs, and all vehicles photographed as in the prior art (all violating vehicles). Without inputting data such as all of the registration numbers manually, only images of vehicles that may have violated a predetermined number of times or more and for which additional number data has not been input are displayed on the display unit 46. By simply looking at this image and inputting only the additional number associated with the image, the vehicle that has violated a predetermined number of times or more is automatically analyzed. Then, when the image processing unit 42 reads a part of the registration number from the image data, the reading accuracy is remarkably improved as compared with the case where the registration number is partially read. Image data can be appropriately selected. In particular, in the present embodiment, since the serial number represented by large characters is partially used, reading by the image processing means can be performed with high accuracy, which is preferable. However, the partial number is not limited to the serial number, and may be, for example, a combination of the serial number and the application number.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, manual maintenance and management of negatives and photographs is not required, and the number of data input operations is significantly reduced.
Rather than looking at all the images obtained by the imaging means, since only the images of the vehicle that may have violated the predetermined number of times or more and only the additional number data has not been input will be seen, The number of confirmation operations by visual inspection of images is also small. As a result, the number of steps for analyzing the vehicle that repeatedly violates is greatly reduced. In addition, based on the part number having extremely high reading accuracy and the additional number confirmed by the operator visually checking the image of the vehicle, the vehicle violating a predetermined number of times or more is automatically analyzed. The reliability of the analysis can be sufficiently ensured.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the number of steps for analyzing a vehicle that repeatedly violates a vehicle can be greatly reduced, and a quick process can be performed.
The reliability of the analysis can be sufficiently ensured.

In the first embodiment, the operator may visually confirm the same image many times, whereas in the present embodiment, the operator may visually check the image once. This is more preferable because it is not necessary to visually confirm the image to which the additional number data has been input again. Further, in the present embodiment, not only partial number data but also additional number data are associated with image data of a vehicle violating a predetermined number of times or more, so that, for example, when creating a warning letter, the additional number data is also included. It is preferable because it can be used.

In the present embodiment, the alarm 46a,
Although the deletion unit 49 and the like are provided, these are not always necessary.

(Third Embodiment) Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The offending vehicle analyzing apparatus according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram showing a violating vehicle analyzing apparatus according to the present embodiment. FIG. 8 is a schematic flowchart showing the operation of the offending vehicle analysis device according to the present embodiment. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure used in the offending vehicle analysis device according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 9A is a diagram illustrating an example of a data structure received by the receiving unit 71. 4B is a diagram illustrating an example of a structure of data stored in the storage unit 74.

The violating vehicle analyzing apparatus 60 according to the present embodiment.
Is also configured to detect and analyze an axle load violating vehicle as a violating vehicle. As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of detection units 61 provided at a plurality of locations and a single analysis unit 70 are provided. It is configured. However, in the present invention, depending on the application, only one detection unit 61 may be used.

Each detection unit 61 has the same configuration as the detection unit 11 in the offending vehicle analysis device 10 shown in FIG. 1, and a description thereof will be omitted.

The analysis unit 70, as shown in FIG.
Receiving section 71, image processing section 72, writing section 73, storage section 74, selection section 75, display section 76, alarm section 76
a, an operation unit 77, an output unit 78, a deletion unit 79, an addition / correction writing unit 80, a determination unit 81, and a confirmation information setting unit 82.

The receiving section 71 receives the violating data and the image data transmitted from the transmitting section 15 of each detection unit 61, returns the data to the original format by decoding, and sends it to the image processing section 72 and the writing section 73. . In the present embodiment,
The structure of the data received by the receiving unit 71 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 9A for one violation of one offending vehicle (that is, for one imaging). Although not shown in FIG. 9A, data such as an axle weight value is added as necessary as part of the offending vehicle data.

Based on the image data from the receiving unit 71, the image processing unit 72 includes a partial number, which is a part of the registration number indicated on the registration number mark of the offending vehicle, and another part of the registration number. Is read by pattern recognition to obtain partial number data indicating the partial number and additional number data indicating the additional number. That is, in the present embodiment, unlike the above-described first and second embodiments, the image processing unit 72 performs all-character recognition of the registration number. In the present embodiment, the partial number is 4
Digit serial number (in FIG. 14, reference numeral 9d is attached).
Is used. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the additional number data includes the use number data, the hiragana character data, and the land transportation branch office name data.

The writing section 73 associates the image data and the violation data from the receiving section 71 with the corresponding partial number data and additional number data obtained by the image processing section 42 in association with each other. To memorize.

The storage section 74 stores the image data written by the writing section 73, partial number data, additional number data, violation data associated therewith, and a confirmation flag as confirmation information. Confirmation flag is
A state where “1” is set and a state where “0” is not set are shown. In the present embodiment, the structure of the data stored in the storage unit 74 is as shown in FIG.
For convenience of explanation, each data (partial number data, date data, time data, location data,
The image data, the application number data, the hiragana character data, the land transportation branch office name data, and the confirmation flag) are associated with each other, and are referred to as records for convenience of explanation. Therefore, the data of one record includes partial number data, date data, time data, location data, image data, application number data, hiragana character data, and the land transportation branch office which are associated with each other for one violation of one vehicle. Name data and confirmation flag. In FIG. 9B,
The mark “!” Indicates that the image cannot be recognized by the image processing unit 72, and that no data has been input and the data has not been stored in the storage unit 74. Although not shown in FIG. 9B, data such as axle weight is added to the data of one record as necessary as part of the offending vehicle data.
Further, in the present embodiment, each record is partially sorted by number data (in this embodiment, a serial number) in order to facilitate various processes described later.

The selection unit 75 determines whether the associated confirmation flag is “1” for the additional number data (ie, the image data associated with the same partial number data among the image data stored in the storage unit 74). Considering the additional number data for which the confirmation flag is set), if there is a possibility that the number of image data of the same vehicle becomes equal to or more than a predetermined number, the image data having the related confirmation flag of “0” among the image data (That is, image data for which the confirmation flag is not set). That is, the confirmation flag is still “0”
(That is, the addition, correction or confirmation of the additional number data has not been completed yet), the additional number data can be any number even if it is not "!", And the confirmation flag is already set to " Regarding the record of "1" (that is, the addition, correction or confirmation of the additional number data has already been completed), it is determined that the additional number data has been determined, and the same number is considered in consideration of the possibility of matching of the additional number data. When there is a possibility that the number of records of the same vehicle may be equal to or more than a predetermined number with respect to records having partial number data, image data of a record whose confirmation flag is “0” among the records is selected by the selecting unit 75.
Is selected by In other words, the addition, correction or confirmation of the additional number data has not yet been completed among the image data corresponding to the vehicles that may have violated the predetermined number of times or more in consideration of the additional number data for which addition, correction or confirmation has been completed. Unselected image data is selected by the selection unit 75.
This predetermined number is appropriately determined according to the number of times or more that the violating vehicle is analyzed. In the following description, it is assumed that the vehicle that violates the vehicle three or more times is analyzed. Therefore, in the following description, the predetermined number is “3”.
For example, when data as shown in FIG. 9B is stored in the storage unit 74, regarding the records R21, R22, R23, and R24 having the serial number “. Since the additional number data may match, there may be three or more records of the same vehicle. Therefore, the records R21, R
The image data of the record R24 for which the confirmation flag is “0” is selected by the selection unit 75 from among the image data 22 and R24.

In the present embodiment, the selecting section 75 stores the partial number data associated with the image data newly stored in the storage section 74 by the writing section 73.
Of the image data associated with the partial number data among the image data stored in the vehicle, there is a possibility that the number of image data of the same vehicle becomes more than a predetermined number in consideration of the additional number data of which the confirmation flag is “1”. If there is, the selection is performed by selecting the image data whose related confirmation flag is “0” from the image data. In other words, when a new record is stored in the storage unit 74 by the writing unit 73, the selecting unit 75 sets the confirmation flag to “1” for a record having the same partial number data as that of the record. If there is a possibility that the number of records of the same vehicle may exceed a predetermined number in consideration of the possibility of matching of the additional number data, the image data of the record whose confirmation flag is "0" among the records Is selected. For example, when the data stored in the storage unit 74 becomes as shown in FIG. 9B by newly storing the record R24 in the storage unit 74, the record R2
The same serial number "... 1" as the serial number "... 1" of 4
Since the additional number data of the records R21, R22, R23, and R24 may match, the records of the same vehicle are 3
Record R2
The image data of the record R24 of which the confirmation flag is “0” is selected by the selection unit 75 from among 1, R22, and R24. However, the selection unit 75 may perform the selection for all partial number data stored in the storage unit 74 at predetermined time intervals, for example.

The display section 76 displays each image indicated by each image data selected by the selection section 75, additional number data, and, if necessary, partial number data and violation data. In this case, each image may be displayed on the same screen at the same time, or may be displayed on the screen sequentially.

When the selecting section 75 selects the image data, the alarm section 76a issues an alarm to the effect that the image data has been selected.
This alarm may be any alarm, such as sounding an alarm sound or displaying an alarm on the screen of the display unit 76.

The operation unit 77 operates, for each image displayed on the display unit 76, at the additional number indicated on the registration number mark of the offending vehicle read from the image and stores the image stored in the storage unit 74. If the additional number data corresponding to the above does not match, an addition / correction command for adding and correcting the additional number data is output by the operator's operation, and if both match, A match confirmation command is output by the operation of the operator.

The addition / correction writing unit 80 is provided with the operation unit 7
7, the addition and correction of the additional data is performed on the data stored in the storage 74.

The confirmation information setting section 82 responds to the addition or correction by the addition / correction writing section 80 or to the coincidence confirmation command from the operation section 77 to respond to the corresponding additional number data. A confirmation flag is set (that is, the confirmation flag is set to “1”).

The determination unit 81 determines whether the number of image data associated with the same partial number data and the same additional number data whose confirmation flag is “1” among the image data stored in the storage unit 74 is predetermined. It is determined whether the number is equal to or more than the number. In other words, the determination unit 81 determines whether the number of records having the same partial number data and the same additional number data with the confirmation flag of “1” is equal to or greater than a predetermined number.
That is, it is determined whether there is a violating vehicle violating the predetermined number of times or more.

In the present embodiment, determination section 81 stores in storage section 74 the partial number data associated with the additional number data whose confirmation flag is newly set to “1” by confirmation information setting section 82. The determination is made by determining whether or not the number of pieces of image data associated with the partial number data and the same additional number data is equal to or greater than a predetermined number. In other words, when the additional number data with the confirmation flag newly set to “1” by the confirmation information setting unit 82 is stored in the storage unit 74,
The determination unit 81 determines the number of pieces of image data associated with the partial number data and the same additional number data among the image data stored in the storage unit 74 with respect to the partial number data associated with the additional number data. Is greater than or equal to a predetermined number. However, the determination unit 81 may perform the determination on all partial number data stored in the storage unit 84 at predetermined time intervals, for example.

When the determination section 74 determines that the number is equal to or more than the predetermined number (ie, when the same vehicle violates the predetermined number of times), the output section 78 outputs data relating to the violating vehicle. This output is, for example, printed out by a printer or recorded on a large-capacity auxiliary storage medium such as a magneto-optical disk or a removable hard disk, or directly transmitted for data transmission to a large computer system or the like for issuing a warning letter. It is.

When the output unit 78 outputs the data, the deletion unit 79 deletes the record relating to the offending vehicle from the storage unit 74. The deletion unit 79 checks the date data of each record stored in the storage unit 74 periodically or in response to an operator's instruction, and deletes the date data for a predetermined period, for example, three years or more from this date. , Delete the record.

It should be noted that each of the elements 73, 75, 79,
80, 81 and the like are actually realized by the operation of the computer according to the program.

Next, an example of the operation of the offending vehicle analyzing apparatus 60 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the detection unit 12 of the detection unit 61 detects an axle load violation vehicle and outputs a detection signal (step S).
41), in response to the detection signal, the imaging unit 14 captures an image of the offending vehicle to obtain image data indicating an image including the registration number mark of the offending vehicle, and the offending data output unit 13 outputs the offending data. Output (Step S42). Thereby, the transmission unit 15 transmits the image data and the violation data to the reception unit 71 of the analysis unit 70 (Step S43).

On the other hand, the receiving unit 71 of the analyzing unit 70 receives the image data and the violation data (see FIG. 9A) from the transmitting unit 15 of the detecting unit 61 (step S44).

The image processing section 72 receives the image data from the receiving section 71 and, based on the image data, a partial number (the book number) which is a part of the registration number written on the registration number mark of the offending vehicle. In the embodiment, a four-digit serial number) and an additional number which is another part of the registration number are read by pattern recognition, and the serial number (for example, “... 1”) is read.
And additional number data indicating the additional number are obtained (step S45). That is, the image processing unit 72 performs all character recognition of the registration number.

Next, the writing section 73 stores the image data and the violation data from the receiving section 71 and the corresponding partial number data and additional number data obtained by the image processing section 72 in association with each other. It is stored in the unit 74 (step S46). In this step S46, for example,
The record R24 in FIG. 9B is newly stored in the storage unit 74, and the data stored in the storage unit 74 is
The result is as shown in FIG.

As described above, when the offending vehicle is detected, the writing of the data on the offending vehicle into the storage unit 74 is completed.

Thereafter, the selecting section 75 determines, with respect to the partial number data associated with the image data newly stored in the storage section 74 in step S46, the partial number data of the image data stored in the storage section 74. Regarding the image data associated with the data, it is determined whether or not there is a possibility that the number of image data of the same vehicle becomes three or more in consideration of the additional number data in which the confirmation flag is “1” (step S).
47). In other words, the selecting unit 75 determines whether the record having the same partial number data as the partial number data of the record newly stored in the storage unit 74 in step S46 matches the additional number data with the confirmation flag of “1”. In consideration of the possibility, it is determined whether there is a possibility that the number of records of the same vehicle becomes three or more. If NO, the image data associated with the partial number data is not the image data corresponding to the vehicle that may have violated three or more times, so that no image data is selected and step S41 is performed.
Return to

On the other hand, if “YES” is determined in the step S47, since the image data associated with the partial number data includes the image data corresponding to the vehicle that may have violated three or more times, Among the image data, the image data for which the confirmation flag is not set (that is, the image data of the record in which the confirmation flag is “0”)
The selection is performed by the selection unit 75 (step S48).

When each image data is selected by the selection unit 75, the alarm unit 76a generates an alarm indicating that the selection has been made (step S49), and the display unit 76 displays the image (image) indicated by the image data selected in step S48. The image including the registration number mark of the offending vehicle) and the additional number data associated therewith are displayed (step S50), and the operator waits for input of addition, correction, and confirmation of the additional number data.

The operator observes the display section 76 in response to the alarm generated by the alarm section 76a and looks at each image displayed on the display section 76, thereby obtaining the registration number of the offending vehicle read from each image. The additional number among the registration numbers indicated on the mark is read from the storage unit 74 and compared with the additional number displayed on the display unit 66 to check whether there is an error. If there is an error, the operator operates the operation unit 7.
7 correct input of the correct additional number data. Also,
If there is no error, the operator performs a matching confirmation operation using the operation unit 77. Further, when the additional number displayed on the display unit 26 is displayed as “!” Because the additional number cannot be recognized by the image processing unit 71, the operator operates the operation unit 77 to correct the additional number data. Enter additional.
The additional number data corrected or input by the operation unit 77 is output to the addition / correction writing unit 80 as an addition / correction command, and the addition / correction writing unit 80 receives the addition / correction command, The addition / correction is performed by overwriting and rewriting the additional number data that has been corrected or additionally input with the data already stored in the storage unit 74. The above is the process of step S51.

Next, the confirmation information setting section 82 responds to the addition or correction by the addition / correction writing section 80 or to the matching confirmation command from the operation section 77 to respond to the corresponding additional number data. Then, a confirmation flag is set (that is, the confirmation flag is set to “1”) (step S5).
2).

Thereafter, the judgment section 81 sets the confirmation information setting section 8
2, regarding the partial number data associated with the additional number data whose confirmation flag is newly set to “1”, the partial number data and the same additional number data of the image data stored in the storage unit 74. The number of image data (that is, image data of the same vehicle) associated with
It is determined whether the number is equal to or more than the number (step S53). N
If O, the image data associated with the partial number data is not the image data corresponding to the vehicle that violated three or more times, and therefore, the process returns to step S41.

On the other hand, if YES is determined in step S53 (that is, if the same vehicle has violated a predetermined number of times), output section 78 outputs data on the violating vehicle (corresponding to the three or more image data). Data, for example, three or more records relating to the offending vehicle are output (step S54).

When output section 78 outputs the data on the offending vehicle, deletion section 79 receives this and deletes data on the offending vehicle, for example, a record on the offending vehicle, from storage section 74 (step S55). ),
It returns to step S41.

Although not shown in the flow chart shown in FIG. 8, as described above, the deletion unit 79 stores the date of each record stored in the storage unit 74 periodically or in response to an operator's command. The data is checked, and records for which a predetermined period, for example, three years or more have passed since this date, are deleted.

According to the violating vehicle analyzing apparatus according to the present embodiment described above, it is not necessary to manually maintain the negatives and photographs, and all vehicles photographed conventionally (all violating vehicles) are not required. Without manually inputting all data such as registration numbers, only images of vehicles that may have violated a predetermined number of times or more and only those for which additional number data has not been added, corrected, or confirmed are displayed. Displayed by the unit 76, the operator simply looks at this image and performs an operation of adding, correcting or confirming the additional number related thereto, and the vehicle that has violated a predetermined number of times or more is automatically analyzed. Then, when the image processing unit 72 reads a part of the registration number from the image data, the reading accuracy is remarkably improved compared with the case where the registration number is partially read from the image data. Image data can be appropriately selected.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, manual maintenance and management of negatives and photographs is not required, and the number of data input operations is greatly reduced. Instead of looking at the image of
Since only the image of the vehicle which may have violated the predetermined number of times or more and the additional number data has not yet been added, corrected or confirmed is visually checked, the number of times of checking work by visual inspection of the image is small. . As a result, the number of steps for analyzing the vehicle that repeatedly violates is greatly reduced. In addition, based on the part number having extremely high reading accuracy and the additional number confirmed by the operator visually checking the image of the vehicle, the vehicle violating a predetermined number of times or more is automatically analyzed. The reliability of the analysis can be sufficiently ensured.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to greatly reduce the number of steps required to analyze a vehicle that repeatedly violates a vehicle, thereby enabling quick processing.
The reliability of the analysis can be sufficiently ensured.

In the first embodiment, the operator may visually confirm the same image many times, whereas in the present embodiment, the operator may visually confirm the image once. It is more preferable that the image to which the additional number data has been added, corrected or confirmed does not need to be visually confirmed again. In this embodiment, the image data of the vehicle violating the predetermined number of times or more is associated not only with the partial number data but also with the confirmed additional number data. This is preferable because the number data can also be used.

Note that this embodiment is basically the same as the second embodiment, but in the second embodiment,
In the case where the image of the vehicle is displayed on the display means, it is necessary to input additional number data for the image. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the image of the vehicle is displayed on the display unit 76. In this case, an additional number may be added, corrected or confirmed for the image, so that the number of operators can be further reduced.

In this embodiment, the alarm section 76a,
Although the deletion unit 79 and the like are provided, these are not always necessary.

In the violating vehicle analyzing apparatuses 10, 30, and 60 according to the above-described embodiments, the image data and the violating data are transmitted from the detecting units 11, 31, and 61 to the analyzing units 20, 40, and 70, respectively. Each of them is transmitted from the transmission unit 15 to the reception unit 21, but is not limited thereto, and the violation data output unit 13 and the imaging unit 14 may be transmitted to the analysis units 20 and 4 without passing through the transmission unit 15 and the reception unit 21.
It may be directly connected to the image processing units 22, 42, 72 of 0, 70.

Alternatively, the detection units 11, 31, 51
