Claim 2:
3. The system of claim 1 further comprising:
a controller communicatively connected to the camera device, wherein the controller is configured to adjust an exposure setting of the image sensor to affect the capture of the long-exposure images and the short-exposure images;
and wherein the processor is further programmed to:
instruct the controller to adjust the first long-exposure setting and the first short-exposure setting of the camera device by an amount;
capture, using the image sensor, a second long-exposure image having a second long-exposure setting and a second short-exposure image having a second short-exposure setting;
detect the first license plate and the second license plate in the second short-exposure image;
align the second license plate in the first short-exposure image with the second license plate in the second short-exposure image;
transform the second portion of each of the first short-exposure image and the second short-exposure image by geometrically rectifying to accommodate for relative positions of the second license plate; and
merge at least the first short-exposure image and the second short-exposure image into a consolidated image, wherein characters of the second license plate have a greater probability of being recognized by the computerized optical character recognition platform in the consolidated image than the first short-exposure image, the second short-exposure image, the first long-exposure image, or the second long-exposure image.
