Abstract
Systems and techniques for detecting and recognizing a railcar identifier are described herein. An image of a railcar can be captured by an image sensor and provided to processing circuitry of a controller. A bounded portion of the image corresponding to the railcar identifier can be identified and a character recognition process can be performed to identify respective values for characters of the railcar identifier. A check digit can be computed using the identified values to validate the railcar identifier. In some examples, the bounded portion of the image can be automatically adjusted when the check digit fails to validate the railcar identifier.
