Dual embedded optical character recognition (ocr) engine

Abstract

Camera system having a dual embedded optical character recognition (OCR) engine. The camera system includes a camera module for capturing an image of the vehicle, the image includes a license plate having a license plate number that contains the character, by extracting the character from the license plate, the first reading and a first OCR engine for generating a first confidence level, extracts a character from the license plate, for generating a second reading and the second confidence level, different patterns base from the first OCR engine including of the OCR engine, the. The camera system further includes a comparator for comparing the first reading and the second reading. If the first reading and the second reading are matched, the system generates a match read as the final reading. If the first reading and the second reading do not match, the fusion module uses the first reading, the first confidence level, the second reading and the second confidence level, the final reading generated.
