Intrada® ALPR (ANPR) is the Q-Free software library solution for Automatic License/Number Plate Recognition (ALPR/ANPR). Intrada® ALPR (ANPR) offers an SDK for reading registration numbers from license plate images. We offer an API for easy integration with C++, C, C#, and other .NET applications.

Intrada® ALPR SDK is already used by many OEM partners and integrators worldwide to recognize license plates for vehicle recognition. 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.

Vehicle Analytics feature is an Intrada® ALPR to gather additional vehicle characteristics for vehicle recognition in the Intrada ALPR SDK. Vehicle analytics adds:

• 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 Angle – 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.
