Video-based surveillance techniques have extended their scope to the field of undervehicle inspection. However, their role is currently restricted to the visualization of the inspection results, while the evaluation of their outcome depends solely on the judgement of the operator. This paper presents an intelligent template-guided approach which addresses the task of computer-assisted undervehicle inspection and access control. It combines a license plate identification stage which authenticates incoming vehicles and a template-guided undervehicle inspection stage which alerts the operator in case of questionable content alterations.
