# Introduction

Media Server can recognize the make, model, and color of vehicles that are detected in a scene.

Vehicle make and model recognition can help law enforcement identify stolen vehicles. If you also run number plate recognition, you can compare the make and model detected by Media Server to a database and identify vehicles that have false number plates.

To recognize the make and model of a vehicle, you must first identify the vehicle within the scene. You can do this by running text detection or number plate recognition to detect the vehicle's number plate. The vehicle model analysis engine requires as input either the `DataWithSource` or `ResultWithSource` track from a number plate analysis task, or the `ResultWithSource` track from a text detection task.

To detect the color of a vehicle, you must first recognize the vehicle.
