Abstract
LPR instances around physical locations and license plate numbers associated with a person of interest are analyzed to predict the relative likelihood of locating the person of interest at a particular location. An LPR information query includes an indication of a physical location and a license plate number associated with a person of interest. The relative likelihood of locating a person of interest at a particular location at a future point in time is determined based on the LPR instances received. In one example, the relative likelihood of locating the person of interest is based on the relative value of clusters of LPR instances around physical locations associated with the person of interest. Additional license plate numbers are associated with a person of interest based on their appearance within a search zone and time window of LPR instances of a license plate number already associated with a person of interest.
