Abstract
Image data captured at vehicles is transmitted and stored remotely from vehicles. To prevent redundant transmission and storage of image data, a reference metadata database is implemented, where metadata is stored corresponding to image data. Before transmitting image data from a vehicle and storing the image data remotely, metadata corresponding to the image data is evaluated against the reference metadata database to determine whether the image data is already stored remotely from the vehicle. Where the metadata corresponding to the image data is already in the reference metadata database, the image data is not re-transmitted or stored in duplicate. Where the metadata corresponding to the image data is not already in the reference metadata database, the image data is transmitted from the vehicle and stored in the image data database.
