ANPR, also known as License Plate Recognition (LPR), is a groundbreaking technology that has transformed traffic enforcement and vehicle monitoring. It has applications beyond law enforcement, including parking management, toll collection, and more.
How ANPR Works
1. Image Capture ANPR uses video cameras to capture images of vehicle license plates.
2. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) The system processes these images using OCR algorithms, converting the alphanumeric characters on the plates into readable text.
3. Database Comparison The recognized plate numbers are cross-referenced with a database of registered vehicles.
4. Automated Actions Based on the database match, appropriate actions can be triggered, such as raising a barrier or generating an alarm.
Key Features of ANPR Cameras
1. High Accuracy ANPR cameras achieve recognition accuracy of ≥98% using advanced deep-learning algorithms. They can read number plates from over 120 countries and regions.
2. Adaptability These cameras can capture plates of vehicles traveling at speeds up to 320 km/h and cover multiple lanes.
3. 24/7 Operation ANPR cameras operate in all weather conditions, ensuring reliable performance day and night.
Applications
1. Traffic Enforcement ANPR helps identify traffic violations, stolen vehicles, and uninsured cars.
2. Parking Management ANPR streamlines parking access and payment.
3. Toll Collection ANPR automates toll collection on highways.
4. Security ANPR assists in perimeter security and access control.
