Automatic Number Plate Recognition

The management and license number plate

recognition software UltraIP ANPR uses videos from

any camera, making it possible to automatically

detect number plates resorting to video security

system infrastructure. UltraIP ANPR central server

receives information from detection devices and

administers it in a centralized way.

UltraIP ANPR stores the images captured by the

cameras as well as additional information from the

license plate. In addition, it supports images with

varied degrees of lightning.

By incorporating advanced video processing and

computer vision capabilities, UltraIP ANPR

enhances verification and classification. It draws

correlations between car types, license plate

numbers and data stored on different databases; the

system triggers immediate alerts when parameters

are detected. In addition, it is able to capture license

plates even in high speed scenarios. This system

increases the efficiency in any kind of traffic control

operations.

Automatic Number Plate Recognition

04

The server manages all the information from

recognition devices and administers OCR engines.

It has many outstanding characteristics to

highlight:

Centralization

UltraIP ANPR is a unified interface. It centralizes

the different devices without resorting to many

different devices.

Georeference

UltraIP ANPR has an integrated global positioning

sytem. This tool allows to georeference every

capture and this way have the possibility to

search what the operator needs. The system

carries out historical georeferenced enquiries and

consults about specific license plates in different

areas in the map.

Partial enquiries

UltraIP ANPR searches for any license plate only

by pointing out a part of the number plate. For

instance, when inserting a part of the license

plate, the system will give immediate access to a

varied list of options. In addition, it is possible to

make enquiries on license plates by pointing out

the characteristics of captures by the different

devices operating in the installation.

Combined searching options

The system has the advantage of consulting varied

options at the same time by mixing parameters- such

as georeference, time and date, captures per devices-

to reach the objectives the client is looking for.

Coordinated and automatic updating system

The system is constantly updating the information

from remote capture devices. This is completely

automatic and it is regulable depending on the

amount of data stored on the database. The user

has the option of choosing to balance it by himself

or, if preferred, resorting to an automatic updating

process. The system maintains a unified database

with the captures per devices and this way, avoids

dispersed data.

Generate its own lists

Although the system allows to search using lists

previously configured, the user can also generate

lists and specify the characteristics to be searched.

This option entails the advantage of resorting to a

customized software.

Unified license plate lists

Unified license plate lists can be maintained as the

system is constantly updating the information

related to the license plates captured – it renews

data regarding time, place, and whether the

vehicle is still on the white list (allowed cars) or on

the black list (wanted cars).

Multiple lists

Multiple and varied lists can be administered and the

operator can search on them according to specific

purposes. That is, one can filter according to different

parameters and have faster accurate results.

External Database Connectors

UltraIP ANPR can be connected to external

databases and improve its database with tools to

generate lists and with ODBC. Search tools can be

added to the system and the database upgraded;

the application may also be ported to other

platforms, both on the client and server side, with

few changes on the data access code.

Audit actions

The user can monitor every action taken by

operators using the module, and this way, have

precise control on which user was the last one to

resort to a specific remote device or why some

event was not detected.

Live follow up

The captures from all the devices can be displayed

and the user can filter, from the central monitoring

station, by captures per devices, according to

specific needs.

User-friendly GUI

the server presents information and controls it in a

fashion that suits the task at hand, and it makes the

system more pleasing to operate. The use of the

system makes it easier for users to find the

functions they want. One can also use visual clues

and efficient widgets for displaying data.

Scrollable text boxes allow the user to go up and

down the screen and list boxes help you see and

filter data.

Health status

This function allows the operator to know the

clients health status and installed version of

databases as well as the last time clients were

connected and which ones are online or offline, as

the interface highlights them.

Alarm per events

The system triggers different alarms when

detecting important and significant events

delimited by parameters previously set by the

user. Then, actions are taken.

Third party modules

UltraIP ANPR has the advantage of adding third

party modules which combine optical character

recognition and may add many other modules to

improve the use of the software.

databases through wireless networks. The mobile

devices allow you to get on-the- spot information

related to vehicles and license plates. This way,

every action can be verified and licence plates

captured by any camera on a real time basis.

Georeference

Every capture is stored by taking into account

GPS data.

Local system and processed data sending

The system processes locally. It maximizes

response speed and it is independent and autono-

mous in case there is desconection from the moni-

toring station and the client is offline. It has the

advantage of processing data and sending it

afterwards.

User friendly interface

The system was thought and created to be able for

use in vehicles; you can easily handle the interface

with the aid of precise information and an easy use of

commands. The system makes it easier for users to

find the functions they want with the aid of visual

clues and efficient widgets for displaying data.

Autonomous lightning system

Nothing escapes from UltraIP ANPR as it has the

advantage of resorting to an infrared lightning

system to capture every license plate at night as well

as during the day in places where there is not enough

light such as parking lots or tunnels.

Expand information

UltraIP ANPR entails the possibility to expand the

information about captured license plates as well as

the information related to the detected vehicle from

the central monitoring station.

+UltraIP ANPR System in mobile devices has different

characteristics and maintains its wide range of uses

no matter the vehicle in which it is assembled.

UltraIP ANPR uses wireless networks. This system

increases the rate of information transfer known as

spectral efficiency. The system supports mobile

phones to communicate with the central operator

station. Among its features, we find:

No need of operator intervention

The system is completely automatic, it does not

need opertaor intervention at a every moment as it

has the aid from the automatic mode.

Auditing every action

The user can record and analyse every action taken

by the system or by operators.

Manual inquiries

Apart form automatic searching methods, the

system also allows operators to search manually

what they want to look for. The operator, be it a

police officer in the patrol or not, is able to insert the

license plate wanted either by filtering it according to

time range, associated alarms, white or black lists,

degree of urgency. This searching method does not

require inserting the complete license plate as with

only a part of it (numbers or letters) you have

successful results. This kind of enquiries can be

supported even if problems with 3G appear.

Support of white lists and black lists

UltraIP ANPR supports multiple lists of cars wanted

and looked for by the police (cars on the black lists)

or of allowed and expected cars in a specific area.
