License Plate Recognition (LPR/ANPR)
Looking for automatic license plate recognition that offers more than just license plate information?
What is License Plate Recognition?
It’s one thing for technology to recognise a license plate (also known as a number plate), but technology moves fast, and we need to keep up. License plate recognition systems move the focus from just license plates to the whole vehicle. This gives you the full picture of the types of vehicles in your establishment, allowing for deeper vehicle identification.
At Sensor Dynamics, we’ve leveraged advances in machine vision, AI, and machine learning to design a system that now collects a host of data from the vehicle, including:
- The license plate
- The car make
- The car model
- The colour of the vehicle
We can also classify the vehicle by type. This creates a virtual fingerprint for the vehicle, making it easier to identify.
Why move to Automatic Number Plate Recognition?
While license plate recognition has been in place for many years, it too has faced difficulties keeping up with changes. New license plate styles, formats, colours, and other variations like the inclusions or images and emojis constantly challenged license plate recognition systems and the entire license plate recognition process as a whole.
With Vehicle ID, automatic number plate recognition has reached new heights. With this, we can accurately match vehicles where we can only capture parts of license plates. This has dramatically improved the ability to accurately identify and match vehicles, allowing us to detect issues such as stolen vehicles and assist with parking management.
License Plate Recognition: ANPR/ALPR/LPR
Sensor Dynamics is synonymous in Australia with License Plate Recognition or Automatic Number Plate Recognition (also known variously as LPR, ALPR, and ANPR). The business was established in 2004 as one of the first suppliers of the technology for the Australian market.
Initially, Sensor Dynamics deployed the technology for petrol stations to prevent drive off petrol theft from self-service stations. Sensor Dynamics then quickly moved into various other markets where application for the technology bought value to the operations. These included:
- Parking
- Security
- Access control
- Defence
- Tolling
- Taxi and bus management systems
- Enforcement
Sensor Dynamics grew rapidly to dominate in these markets as a supplier to other resellers and also directly to the market. The key to our success is the in-house engineering and development team. This allows us to quickly interface to other systems and also ensure the right cameras are used for the application.
At Sensor Dynamics, we’ve leveraged our experience in LPR and evolved to vehicle ID. If you have an application that could be improved by this technology, please contact us here
