Introduction#

This document is the administrator's manual for the VisionLabs LUNA CARS API subsystem (hereinafter referred to as CARS API) version 5.0.12.

The guide describes:

  • capabilities of the subsystem;
  • architecture of the subsystem;
  • configuration of the subsystem;
  • types of errors returned.

It is recommended to read this manual carefully before installing and using the CARS API.

CARS API allows following actions in real-time:

  • detect vehicles;
  • identify vehicle brand and model;
  • determine whether the vehicle belongs to public transport, taxis, or special transport;
  • determine the type of vehicle;
  • determine the vehicle color;
  • determine the number of axles of the vehicle;
  • extract the vehicle descriptor;
  • detect and recognize the license plate (LP);
  • determine the country of LP registration.

The CARS API is a subsystem of LUNA CARS. For the CARS API to work correctly, additional components are required:

  • A subsystem for detecting and tracking vehicles, LPs, pedestrians, and animals in the video stream.

Currently, only CARS Stream is supported. The documentation for the CARS Stream subsystem is included in the CARS Stream distribution in the /doc directory.

  • A subsystem for collecting, storing, and displaying information.

Currently, only CARS Analytics is supported. The documentation for the CARS Analytics subsystem is included in the CARS Analytics distribution in the /doc directory.
