Methods, systems and processor-readable media for vehicle classification. In general, one or more vehicles can be scanned utilizing a laser scanner to compile data indicative of an optical profile of the vehicle(s). The optical profile associated with the vehicle(s) is then pre-processed. Particular features are extracted from the optical profile following pre-processing of the optical profile. The vehicle(s) can be then classified based on the particular features extracted from the optical feature. A segmented laser profile is treated as an image and profile features that integrate the signal in one of the two directions of the image and Fisher vectors which aggregate statistics of local 'patches' of the image are computed and utilized as part of the extraction and classification process.

Vehicle classification from laser scanners using fisher and profile signatures

In response to determining that a target vehicle is at large, identification information associated with the target vehicle's license plate may be retrieved and used to generate one or more synthetic license plate images. The synthetic license plate images may be subjected to one or more transformation to cause them to resemble authentic license plate image captures and/or to mimic authentic license plate image captures from existing and operational ALPR system cameras. Target signatures may then be calculated from the synthetic license plate images. Upon capturing an authentic license plate image using an ALPR system camera, a signature of the authentic license plate image may be calculated. If a match is found between the signature of the authentic license plate image and a target signature, law enforcement may be alerted that the target vehicle was detected at the location of the ALPR system camera.
