Side-view Dimensional Profiling of Drive-through Vehicle and Features Extraction by Using LiDAR and Camera

This paper focuses on developing an alternative method for measuring the dimension of a moving vehicle in a side-view on the road. The main tools used in this proposed solution are the Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) camera, which can measure the distance between the vehicle and it, and photos of a vehicle, and hence obtain the length and height by calculation and several features. This method aims to have easy and high installation mobility, thereby lowering the manufacturing and maintenance costs. Word identification, object detection and wheel detection are further analysis with an aid of machine learning based classification.
