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
Classifier An object of the CARS API subsystem that recognizes one of the attributes of a vehicle or LP
Crop An object’s BBox cut out of the frame with a detected object (vehicle, LP, pedestrian, animal)
Detection Actions to determine zones 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 extracts the background of a video stream and processes only the part where objects are moving. It is used to improve the performance of the system
FGS model The static part of the video stream, that is, the background of the video stream, where there are no moving objects
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, recognition of vehicle and LPS attributes. The system consists of three subsystems: CARS Analytics, CARS API and CARS Stream
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
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) A real-time streaming protocol that contains a simple set of basic commands for controlling the video stream
Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) A transport-layer data transfer protocol in connectionless networks that provides the delivery of datagrams without requiring confirmation of their receipt
Vehicle A technical device for the transport of people and/or goods, for which a special right is granted
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) A transport-layer data transfer protocol in connectionless networks that provides the delivery of datagrams without requiring confirmation of their receipt
