In a particular embodiment of the claimed solution, the photo image obtained by the fixation unit is stored in the data storage unit.

In another particular embodiment of the claimed solution, the computing unit is adapted to convert a portion of the captured photo image displaying the vehicle license plate from graphic to alphanumeric format.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 illustrates a general diagram of a claimed vehicle registration device.

FIG. 2 illustrates the principle of zoning the road with a computing unit.

IMPLEMENTATION OF A USEFUL MODEL

In FIG. 1 shows a diagram of a vehicle registration device 100. The device 100 is a combination of data bus 200 a set of functional units installed in a single housing. Computing unit 101 is a processor unit including one or more processors. The memory unit 102 includes at least RAM and / or ROM. Blocks 101 and 102 are connected to a vehicle image capturing unit 103, configured to receive (capture) a high resolution image of a vehicle using an image capture sensor, which can be, for example, a photosensitive matrix. For a clear image of the vehicle in conditions of insufficient visibility or at night, the design provides a block of infrared radiation 104, which provides infrared illumination of the object of fixation. Block 105 is a GPS module that provides data from satellites of the global navigation system (GPS), for example, GPS, Glonass, BeiDou.

The wireless communication unit 106 provides for the transmission of information to a remote server via wireless data transmission channels and can be performed in the form of, for example, a 2G, 3G or 4G modem, or a Wi-Fi module. The data storage unit 107 is a storage medium, for example, an HDD or SSD disk, or a device based on flash memory (SD, Micro-SD, Mini-SD, MMS, XD, CF-Card) or a USB flash drive. Block 107, in particular, is used to store photo images of the vehicle 10 received from the fixing unit 103, and then transmit this information to the computing unit 101 to extract an alphanumeric sequence characterizing the number of the state vehicle, or transfer the photo image using the communication unit 104 to the remote server.

The computing unit 101 is configured to receive an image of a road visibility zone of a vehicle for capturing an image of the vehicle 103 and then dividing said road image into virtual zones of a fixed size and fixing said virtual zones on said road image. In FIG. 2 shows the principle of zoning the image of the road visible by the TS 103 fixation unit using the computing unit 101. Virtual zones z1-z5 divide the visibility area of the TS 103 fixation block into sections of a given size, zones z1-z5 cover all lanes, in a particular embodiment , zones z1-z5 can be equal to the length (width) w1-w5.

Block 103 captures the photo of the vehicle and transfers the resulting image to a computing unit 101, which extracts information about the license plate of the vehicle by converting a portion of the captured photo that displays the state license plate of the vehicle from graphic to alphanumeric format. According to the received image, the block 101 also extracts information about the number Zn and the length Wn of the virtual zone in which the vehicle was registered. At the time of capture of the vehicle image, the time fixing unit 105 receives information about the vehicle registration time using the above-mentioned photo image. Computing unit 101 performs the formation of a data packet that contains at least data about the license plate of the vehicle, the time of fixing the vehicle, as well as the number and length of the mentioned virtual zone, and using block 106 transmits the said data packet to the remote server for its subsequent processing.

The information obtained using the claimed device 100 is used to calculate the average speed of the vehicle over an extended section of the road and the subsequent detection of violations of the established speed limit.

The claimed device has been tested and is successfully used at present in the Russian Federation.
