Automatic Vehicle Number Plate Recognition System (LPR/ANPR/ALPR) – LOOK System
- LOOK System is a PC software application, using the specialized cybernetic neural network-based automated image processing algorithm to recognize - “machine-read” or scan the text on motorized vehicles marked with a registration plate - aka license plate or a number plate, from the TV cam live motion video. The processing speed is high enough to allow real-time operation and unlimited speed of the scanned vehicles. Gained results can be successfully used for various jobs, where the car has to be identified or matched. To LOOK up stolen cars or to create a license plate-based access system are just two of many possible applications. This job is often called ANPR, ALPR or LPR - for Automatic Number/License Plate Recognition.
- Besides the registration plates of the vehicles, Look System can also read standardized numbering on railway wagons - UIC codes, standardized cargo container codes, and hazardous material plates on tank trucks - HIN - ADR / Kemler code. These features are used in logistic centers. Another application is the reading of personal documents standardized text area - found on passports, ID cards, or driver licenses, to be used at the checkpoints, where personal documents are massively checked and validated, like at airports or by official state authorities.
- The process runs in real-time, typically using a closed circuit television (CCTV) camera as a source. The camera can either be a digital one - IP camera, networked to the computer, or analog - with traditional PAL or NTSC output to be digitized - captured in the computer. The image files, uploaded to data storage are another supported way to get the input.
- Look System is a full-featured application, providing complete functionality with user interface, statistic result processing, and database-related functions. The functionality is tailored to meet the needs of specific customer’s processes and rules. This often includes connectivity to a third-party access system and/or more complex features in multi-user environments cooperating with the HiEntry system and more Look System installations sharing the data on a network server.
- For common entry system applications, installed at a closed area or a parking site, where event recording, access granting, and occupation check is needed, Look Parking is the right choice. No further development is needed, but the desired functionality can rather be selected by the system administrator within the application options window.
- For the applications where just standalone “RFID card / barcode reader” approach is enough for ANPR, Look Module is the option. It can send the result text and graphic data to the partner system using TCP/IP (web service), serial line, write to the database, use Windows Messages (simulate keystrokes), and more.
