TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Using headlight patterns in vehicle recognition JO - Forensic science international A1 - Finkelstein, Nir A1 - Chaikovsky, Alan A1 - Cohen, Yaron A1 - Tsach, Tsadok SP - e110120 EP - e110120 VL - 307 IS - N2 - Crime scenes are frequently poorly lit, making it difficult to recognize and identify implicated vehicles that have been caught on film or photographed during incidents. This paper explores vehicle recognition capabilities in dark images, specifically as when a vehicle's headlights are on and are projecting light onto a flat vertical surface. In this study, the headlight reflection patterns of 68 vehicles were photographed and analyzed. This paper presents a method for confirming or ruling out a vehicle's make and model by its headlight pattern.
