Automatic Number Plate Recognition

ANPR- LPR-17

ANPR Solution from Synergy is an excellent solution for capturing the number plates of the vehicle and giving access to the barrier or gates to open for authorized vehicles.

The software reliably differentiates between vehicle classes such as passenger cars, vans, lorries, buses and motorcycles.

ANPR provides automatic number plate recognition solutions for smart cities, toll, corporate parks, malls, parking lot

ANPR stands for Automatic Number Plate Recognition. It's a technology that uses optical character recognition (OCR) to automatically read the license plates of vehicles from digital images or video feeds. This process converts the visual information on the plate into alphanumeric data that can be stored, analyzed, and used for various applications.

How it Works:

• Image Capture: Specialized cameras capture images or video of vehicles, often using infrared (IR) illumination for day and night operation.
• License Plate Detection: Software algorithms locate and isolate the license plate within the image.
• Image Pre-processing: The plate image is enhanced to improve clarity for character recognition.
• Character Segmentation: Individual characters (letters and numbers) on the plate are separated.
• Optical Character Recognition (OCR): OCR software converts the segmented character images into text.
• Database Integration: The recognized plate number is often compared against databases for various purposes.

Key Technology:

• Specialized Cameras: High-resolution, IR-enabled cameras.
• Image Processing Software: For plate detection and enhancement.
• Optical Character Recognition (OCR): To read the characters.
• Databases: To store and cross-reference plate information.
• AI and Deep Learning: Increasingly used to improve accuracy in challenging conditions.

Applications:

• Law Enforcement: Identifying stolen vehicles, tracking suspects, monitoring traffic violations.
• Traffic Management: Monitoring traffic flow, congestion, enforcing lane and parking rules.
• Toll Collection: Automated toll collection systems.
• Parking Management: Automated entry/exit, ticketless systems, occupancy management.
• Security and Access Control: Controlling access to restricted areas.
• Logistics and Fleet Management: Tracking vehicles and optimizing routes.
• Retail and Customer Service: Loyalty programs, automated payments.
• Smart Cities: Integration with urban management and security systems.

ANPR is a powerful tool for automation, security enhancement, and data collection related to vehicle movement.
