The image-processing technology LPR (License Plate Recognition), commonly referred to as ANPR (Automatic Number-Plate Recognition), is used to recognise cars by their license plates.
The device takes an image of the front or back of the car using illumination and an infrared camera. It then utilises image analysis software to extract the license plate information. This information is processed against the police data and other databases to which rapid intervention by the police and security companies is carried out.
Vehicle number plate recognition helps to:
- Keep a watchful eye on community policing
- Collect, control, and track data
- Track and trace criminals through number plates
- Monitoring of clients for VIP Protection.
