Licence Plate Recognition (LPR), also known as Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), is a technology that automatically reads and interprets vehicle licence plates, allowing for seamless and efficient vehicle identification
How it works:
By capturing images of passing vehicles, the system uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify and extract the licence plate from these images. It then decodes the characters and numbers on the plate and compares them with a database or set of rules. This process can check for things like blacklisted vehicles, valid parking permits, or log entry and exit times.
Benefits of Licence Plate Recognition
Enhanced Security
Quickly identify and track vehicles, improving overall security and response times.
Operational Efficiency
Automate routine tasks such as entry/exit logging, reducing the need for manual checks and increasing throughout.
Accuracy
Provides high accuracy in reading plates, even under challenging conditions like varying light, speed, and angles.
Convenience
Facilitates smooth and hassle-free access control for authorised vehicles and can integrate with other systems for seamless operation.
