Introduction#

This document is the administrator's manual for the VisionLabs CARS_API subsystem (hereinafter referred to as CARS_API) version v.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.
