Automatic Number Plate Recognition

Overview

Autonomy Virage's Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system is one of the world's leading ANPR systems, employing state of the art neural network techniques in its character recognition. This ensures efficiency and integrity of the system for use in either high volume or standard traffic flow situations. Autonomy Virage ANPR is suitable for many different applications, including car parks, traffic surveys, petrol filling stations (as a "drive-off" deterrent), and to detect stolen vehicles if used in conjunction with database searching. Autonomy Virage ANPR also has time scheduling as a standard facility to offer vehicle access control for commercial and industry entry/exit scenarios. Integration with the Digital Video Recording system provides a complete solution to any number plate recognition requirement.

Autonomy Virage offers users the following unrivalled features:

Unprecedented reliability due to neural network based character recognition
Operational speeds exceeding 100 MPH/ 160 KPH
Multiple cameras can be monitored using one channel via a sequencing facility
Can be trained to recognize any international plate format
