Vehicle Attribute Detection (Colour, Brand)

Identifies visual attributes of vehicles — colour and make/brand — from IP camera feeds. Used alongside ANPR or as a standalone module to enrich vehicle events with appearance data. Useful for enforcement, investigations, and access workflows where plate data alone is insufficient.

Key Features

Prerequisites & Limitations

What Vehicle Attribute Detection (Colour, Brand) needs to run reliably, and the operating limits to plan for.

Prerequisites

  • Camera: 2MP+ IP/RTSP with a clear, well-lit view of the full vehicle for colour and make recognition
  • Colour-accurate illumination — white-light is preferred over IR for colour detection (IR produces monochrome imagery)
  • Stable bandwidth between camera and edge/server — roughly 4–8 Mbps per 2MP H.264/H.265 stream
  • Mounting to capture the front or side of the vehicle within the frame
  • Stable power and network at the deployment point

Operating Limits

Factor Edge Server
Incident / event capture rate≤ ~5 events per second≤ ~20 events per second
Concurrent camera streams per node1–4 streams (Jetson TX2 / Orin)8–16+ streams
Minimum object/plate size in frame≥ ~20 px≥ ~20 px
Event-to-alert latency< ~1 s on-deviceDepends on network round-trip

Indicative figures — actual limits depend on hardware, scene, and configuration.
