1. An image-based system for tracking vehicles within an asset area, comprising:
a computer vision system comprising:
one or more image capture devices positioned to view respective portions of the asset area;
at least one processor in communication with the one or more image capture devices;
a classification engine in communication with the one or more image capture devices and trained to distinguish among different vehicles based on features of the vehicles and accumulated classification counts;
an image-based vehicle tracking system; and
a memory in communication with the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, are configured to cause the at least one processor to:
receive, from at least one of the one or more image capture devices, a plurality of captured images of the vehicle;
classify, with the classification engine, responsive to an indication of the vehicle entering the asset area and the plurality of captured images of the vehicle, the vehicle as corresponding to an inventory asset; and
track, with the image-based vehicle tracking system, a location of the vehicle within the asset area based on a known coordinate of at least one fixed landmark in a field of view of the one or more image capture devices.
