• Abstract: In this work, we present a robust and efficient solution for counting and identifying train wagons using computer vision and deep learning. The proposed solution is cost-effective and can easily replace solutions based on radiofrequency identification (RFID), which are known to have high installation and maintenance costs. According to our experiments, our two-stage methodology achieves impressive results on real-world scenarios, i.e., 100% accuracy in the counting stage and 99.7% recognition rate in the identification one. Moreover, the system is able to automatically reject some of the train wagons successfully counted, as they have damaged identification codes. The results achieved were surprising considering that the proposed system requires low processing power (i.e., it can run in low-end setups) and that we used a relatively small number of images to train our Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for character recognition. The proposed method is registered, under number BR512020000808-9, with the National Institute of Industrial Property (Brazil).

  unsupervised video-based re-identification (re-ID) methods have been proposed to solve the problem of high labor cost required to annotate re-ID datasets. But their performance is still far lower than the supervised counterparts. In this paper, we propose to tackle this problem by learning re-ID models from automatically generated person tracklets.
