2  Automatic Number Plate Recognition (or 'number plate recognition') is a special form of optical character recognition (OCR).  It enables computer systems to read automatically the registration number (license number) of vehicles from digital pictures.  Reading automatically the registration number means transforming the pixels of the digital image into the ASCII text of the number plate.  OCR technology scans paper documents and turn them into electronic, editable files.  Capturing of fast moving vehicles needs special technique to avoid motion blur. To ensure the right image quality short shutter time is used with high-power illumination.

3  The best illumination is the IR, because the retro-reflective plates reflect this kind of light and it is undetectable for the human eye.  This combination works fine during day and night and provides constant good image quality.  Only dedicated ANPR cameras meet these requirements, which provide flexible shutter control with built-in IR flash and able to catch the vehicles up to 250km/h which is suitable for all kind of license plate reading applications.

4  ANPR has two technological issues:  The quality of license plate recognition software with its applied recognition algorithms, and  The quality of image acquisition technology, the camera and the illumination.  The very key factor is the number plate recognition software.  A sophistication recognition software should have following features  the highest recognition accuracy  the fastest processing speed  the most type of number plates it can handle,  the widest range of picture quality it can handle,  the most tolerant against distortions of input data.

5  The key technological parts of an APNR system:  high accuracy Optical Character Recognition (OCR) – is an essential requirement  technology image acquisition technology - determines the average image quality the number plate recognition algorithm has to work on.

6  Different CARMEN software versions are used for different ANPR application areas  There are basically 3 versions  CARMEN Free Flow : general-purpose license plate recognition engine, used for processing images of fast moving vehicles  CARMEN Parking Lane: developed for parking management applications where automatic identification of vehicles is needed.  CARMEN Parking: cost-effective solution, which is ideal for parking, vehicle entry and access control systems. It is capable of the automatic detection, identification and recognition of the registration number of any vehicle.

7  It is highly accurate, fail safe and stable, fast and intelligent.  it provides the highest technological performance  It can be integrated into practically any ANPR system  Features:  offers general-purpose license plate reading from digital pictures of any type of sources.  provide high quality car plate recognition for very different type of images and plates with default settings.  98.5% recognition rate (correct reading/total number of input)

8  Applications:  Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS),  security systems  motorway toll collection (highway toll collection),  traffic analysis,  police law enforcement,  state border control,  enforcement of traffic regulations,  vehicle theft prevention,  automation and simplification of airport,  harbor and warehouse logistics,  security monitoring of roads and checkpoints  vehicle surveillance

9  specially designed for parking systems, security systems and access control systems.  It has a unique integration level of license plate recognition technology, the video acquisition technology and the processing of multiple images of video streams.  It comes with an industrial quality native driver for image acquisition and video streaming, providing a plug-and-play core number plate recognition module (software and capture card) for car park and vehicle access control systems.

10  Features:  offers flexible,  low maintenance,  effective and intelligent technology for car park operation.  reduces costs as well as increasing efficiency and security.  the Carmen Parking ANPR package contains the following elements:  Automatic number plate recognition engine  FXVD4mc_s grabber card  Functions library (ANSI C/C++, MSVC/C++, MSVB and Delphi, ActiveX, OCX)  Demo and test applications  Tutorial and sample programs both in executable and source code.  High Resolution Camera equipped with a special and synchronized IR flash.(optional)

11  A parking lot equipped with Carmen Parking can provide:  Flexible and automatic vehicle entry to and exit from a car park  Management information about car park usage  Improved security for both car park operators and car park users  Improved traffic flow during peak periods  Vehicle recognition through date and time stamping as well as exact location  Comprehensive database of traffic movement can be managed  Applications:  car park management,  car parking automation,  occupation management,  automation of access control,  security access control,  flotilla management (car pool management),  automation of vehicle entry to and exit from car parks,  inventory management,  state border control

12  used for one or two lanes of access control systems.  With integration CARMEN Parking Lane into parking management systems, it is possible to automate vehicle entry to and exit from a car park or a secure zone and to use the recognized registration number for inventory management.  specially developed for parking management applications where automatic identification of vehicles is needed.  provides accurate and quick identification of vehicles without human assistance.

13  ANPR consists of following hardware products :  Image capturing -FXCAM LPR/ANPR camera series : to provide good quality images  ARH Car PC for Mobile ANPR applications : is a mobile PC with unique features like GPS receiver and GPS antenna.  Video signal digitizing -FXVD4 frame grabber card : the primary function of this card is digitizing the video signal. FXVD4mc_s is a high quality 4-channel frame grabber card

14  The smart shutter technology enables you to make an adaptive image capturing system, controlled automatically by software.  Effective range is up to 20 meters (65 ft) but it may vary depending on the specific environmental conditions.  Ideal for both moving traffic and access control (parking management) applications.  Image quality:  Resolution: 752X480 pixels, ROI support  Image processing speed: 60 frames/sec at full image size  Continuous, or triggered buffering for 60 full size images  Lossless RAW image format  Adjustable gain and shutter time 1/100 to 1/30000 sec  No extra illumination required

15  Lens:  High quality motorized zoom and iris (effective range 3-20m)  IR pass filter included  High speed and ultra sensible image sensor :  CMOS monochrome WideVGA (pixel size 6ľm x 6ľm)  Global Shutter TrueSNAP  Dynamic range up to 100dB  High performing illumination :  High power IR LEDs - ideal for ANPR day & night  Strong sunlight / shadow correction  Power consumption :  Isolated 24-28V AC or 30-36V DC input (50-60Hz)  Optional 12V DC (FXCAM202)  Less than 15W (26V AC) [depending on heating ON/OFF]  Reverse polarity protection
