Term Description
Attribute Vehicle or LP parameter: brand, model, color, LP symbols, etc
Best shot Frame of the video stream, on which the object is fixed in the optimal view for further use in the CARS API to determine attributes
Bounding box (BBox) A rectangle that bounds the image space with a detected object (vehicle, LP, pedestrian, animal)
CARS Analytics Subsystem for collecting, storing and displaying the results of the CARS API and CARS Stream operation through a web interface
CARS API Subsystem for detection and recognition of vehicles and LPs attributes
CARS Stream Subsystem for detecting and tracking objects in the video stream and determining the best frames
ANPR Stream Subsystem for integrating ANPR cameras into CARS Analytics
Classifier A part of the CARS API subsystem that recognizes one of the attributes of a vehicle or LP
Descriptor A set of data in a closed, binary format, prepared by the CARS API based on the analyzed characteristics of the vehicle
Detection Actions to determine areas of the image containing objects
Event A type of CARS Analytics work scenario in which the object is considered detected and recognized, but does not require attention to each individual case
Foreground subtraction (FGS) A technology that subtracts the background of an image and processes only the region with moving objects. It is used to improve the performance of the system
Handler An algorithm that determines the logic of frame processing. Used for creating scenarios
Incident A type of CARS Analytics work scenario in which the object is considered detected and recognized, but at the same time require attention to each individual case
License plate (LP) An individual alphanumeric designation assigned to a vehicle by a registration unit
LUNA CARS A system designed for detection, tracking of objects and recognition of vehicle and LPS attributes. The system consists of three subsystems: CARS Analytics, CARS API and CARS Stream
Model The static part of the video stream, or the background of the video stream, with no moving objects
Object An item of interest for the system within the detection, re-detection and tracking processes: vehicle, LP, pedestrian or animal
Redetection Repeated actions to determine areas of the image containing vehicle or LP
Scenario System customization for generating events and incidents based on handlers
Tracking The process of obtaining information about the position of the object on a sequence of frames
Vehicle A technical device for the transport of people and/or goods, for which a special right is granted
WebSocket (WS) A communication protocol over TCP connection designed to exchange messages between a browser and a web server using a persistent connection
