Intrada ALPR
Intrada® ALPR (ANPR) is the Q-Free software solution for Automatic License/Number Plate Recognition (ALPR/ANPR). It offers an API for reading registration numbers from images and video with the highest accuracy in the market today. Intrada has the ability to read license plate variants from all over the world and offers an SDK for easy integration with C++, C, C#, and other .NET applications on any kind of processing platform.
Intrada ALPR SDK is already used by many OEM partners and integrators worldwide to recognize license plates for vehicle identification. Applications range from parking, access control, and surveillance systems to speed enforcement systems and tolling systems. The reason to choose Intrada ALPR is always the combination of accuracy and ease of API integration with the availability of any country module and the ability to run on any regular platform.
In addition to the identification (country/state of origin and registration number), Intrada® ALPR also automatically detects selected vehicle characteristics:
- Vehicle Class – Enables operators to charge differently for motorcycles, cars, and buses.
- Vehicle Color – Helps operators and law enforcement easily locate matching vehicles.
- Vehicle Model/Make – Further helps agencies and officers identify lost or suspect vehicles.
- Vehicle Side – Determines which side of the vehicle is facing the camera, e.g. front of rear, helpful in determining entry and exit points in parking applications.
