License Plate Recognition (LPR) systems detect and read vehicle license plates for traffic enforcement, toll roads, border control, security, access control, parking systems, and many other applications.
BGI offers a sophisticated vision-based License Plate Recognition system that identifies number plates on stationary or slowly moving vehicles approaching a barrier or gate.
The combined camera/illumination unit compares the recognition result to an authorization list and opens the gate if the vehicle is authorized. Authorized vehicle numbers are stored on the unit’s local database. Users can change the authorization list, as well as other parameters, using a special web server application.
The system in its typical configuration will recognize a license plate in less than 0.5 seconds and the detection range is 4.0 -to 7.0 meters with a standard lens. Multiple cameras can monitor a single lane for increased security and reliability.
With its ability to operate continuously during the day and night, including adverse weather conditions, BGI’s LPR solution can be run as a standalone system or integrated into an enterprise IT environment for full control and tracking of vehicle movement.
