Abstract
An apparatus for analyzing a payload being transported in a load carrying container of a vehicle is disclosed. The apparatus includes a camera disposed to successively capture images of vehicles traversing a field of view of the camera. The apparatus also includes at least one processor in communication with the camera, the at least one processor being operably configured to select at least one image from the successively captured images in response to a likelihood of a vehicle and load carrying container being within the field of view in the at least one image, and image data associated with the least one image meeting a suitability criterion for further processing. The further processing includes causing the at least one processor to process the selected image to identify a payload region of interest within the image and to generate a payload analysis within the identified payload region of interest based the image data associated with the least one image.
