The existence of several surveillance systems with specific characteristics, and with associated computer processes, is not a novelty.
The possibility of automatically identifying objects, people and even animals is a reality. This surveillance allows multiple practical applications. Obviously, those related to security, but also, for example, with the management of spaces, something quite put into practice since the pandemic.
In addition to these more common systems, there are others that probably haven’t figured it out yet. For example, did you know that there are some computer vision and artificial intelligence powered technologies designed not only to identify vehicles, but also license plates and NIV (Vehicle Identification Number) numbers?
What are LPR (License Plate Recognition) Systems?
As its name implies, LPR systems can automatically recognize, through an image (regardless of their origin) and (almost) instantaneously, license plates, and recognize the numbers and letters in these represented.
Later, it is possible to establish a connection of the system to a registration database to identify and validate the vehicle. This type of identification has, of course, a somewhat comprehensive application in real time scenarios, from our daily life.
License Plate Recognition (LPR System): Practical applications
License plate recognition systems can be used in a variety of scenarios. Not limiting, these are some of the most common:
- In the supervision of refueling at gas stations – Allowing, for example, the automatic blocking of the station associated with the vehicle.
- In Car Parks – In the authorization, monitoring and control of vehicle access.
- Road Tolls – Also, in vehicle access monitoring.
In addition to these more obvious, there are other applications. For example, monitoring of access to enclosures, others related to surveillance and security, fleet and vehicle management, control of gates, barriers and traffic lights, among many others!
Plate.Vision – License Plate Identifier (Developed by MakeWise)
The PLATE.VISION – ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), developed by MakeWise, is a real-time vehicle identification software. It stands out mainly because it is:
- Robust – With the ability to identify License Plate, Vehicle Identification Number, Brand and color, etc.
- Dynamic – Applicable to different scenarios by critical standard (Filling Stations, Road Tolls, Car Parks, etc.).
- Compatible – Can be implemented in various Server/Desktop, Cloud and or Mobile environments.
One of the practical applications of PLATE. VISION is, for example, in the supervision of refuelling at fuel filling stations or in car parks, in the authorisation, monitoring and control of vehicle access.
We hope we have helped to better understand the License Plate Recognition Systems (LPR System)! If you have any questions, send us your message, we will be happy to clarify it. See you soon…
