The system was built basing on automatic intelligent detection, motion analysis and recognition servers which send the information about recognized numbers of vehicles to the central server. The central server storing the information in SQL database and makes it available to management stations, simultaneously makes possible the access to the chosen information across the WWW interface. Management station make possible the look over and analysis of recognized numbers. Management station permit also manage of information about wanted vehicles and automatic denotation by the system of detected vehicles about unlisted numbers. From the management station is possible the viewing on quickly chosen cameras and also their remote configuration - if this functionality is thrown open by cameras. The view of the client application the schema / main view 1
The view of the client application video windows The process of the recognition is realized automatically and unattended for standing as and moving vehicles. The system analyzing the images from cameras finds appearing number plates, analyses situated on them sings, recognizes it and records to the database. To every PlateFinder s server exist the possibility of connecting maximally 4 video cameras. PlateFinder server in the on-line mode analyses the images from all cameras connected to him. Recognized numbers are recorded in the central database. Every stored record in the database contains fallowing data: - the number of the vehicle - the date and time of the recognition - the ID of camera - the image of the vehicle with the visible plate number The system can work with the own or external wanted vehicles database. After recognition of the number of the wanted vehicle the operator at once is informed by sound signal and the suitable announcement on-screen. 2
The application lets look over of recognized number plates, creation of dictionaries, defining of data filter, type selection of the watched photo (the view of the driver s face or the view of the plate number) The period FROM the date and time from the first hour The period TO the date and time to the final hour The location the location od the camera chich made recognition The number recognized number of the number plate The type the type of input video material (undefined, directly transmission from camera, transmission from database, recorded video file) The user can define following data dictionaries: Provisions Types of provisions Categories of vehicles WWW interface to the ANPR system is accessible from the Internet browser, such as MS IE version 6 or higher.

Images with compression (quality 100 images / MB 40%) 1 One device of the ANPR system supports to 4 real-time video channels (4 control zones) or 16 video channels in the multiplex mode. The cycle time of location/recognition lasts to 10 ms for one image frame. This permits to convert globally to 100 frames per second in real-time. The device can be connected to the network. 2 The vertical deflection of the camera cannot be greater than 30 and the horizontal deflection cannot be greater than 20. 3 Main types of arranged in one row number plates of different states are recognizes with the greater efficiency (so for civilian number plates as and special: diplomatic, military, police etc. for every country). The system can analyse to 20 number plates one-time (analysis of type, country of origin, colour and alphabet). 4 The standard roads lighting is insufficient (as a rule) and depends on local norms and regulations. Cameras must adapt to changing conditions of the lighting. 5 The database capacity is conditioned of resources of the converting device. For traffic of 2000 vehicles per hour, when the recording register of vehicles is leads, images occupy about 4GB of disc capacity. The data can be recorded in the cycle, after the end of cycle ought it to archive. Proprieties of the system Very short time for image analysis Recognition of number plates of vehicles in move with the speed to 150 km/h The reading of number plates from white, black and coloured plates Recognized number plates are recorded to database The access to the system by Internet browser Wide possibilities of data filtration and searching in database Register of vehicles: wanted, entitled or untitled to the entrance etc. The possibility of the integration with external databases with the information about wanted vehicles, entitled or untitled to the entrance etc. Determination of the speed of vehicles Defining of templates of number plates and country of origin Automatic number plates recognition (the transfer to the database of the Police) Counting of vehicles The differentiation of the size of vehicles The automatic detection of vehicles which going upstream Automatic informing about car conflicts and car accidents Alarming when car caught fire itself Automatic informing about the blocking of the traffic lane 5
