Recogniform Number Plates Recognition SDK

This system allow recognition the number plates on cars.
The system is compsed of the following elements:

  • Two input device: a CCD camera to capture image and a photocell to trigger the process;
  • Two interface cards for PC: an I/O port and a video capture card;
  • A computer running Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP, that hosts the application core and application software;
  • The application core the software acquisition and recognition
  • The application software: the custom software, the end user applications
  • Some accessories: lamps to enhance the image acquisition, support to hold the components, PC housing units

The operation is performed in several steps of execution:

  • A input trigger (for example a pulse from the photocell) start the acquisition process;
  • The CCD camera, using a infrared filter, acquires the image at 256 gray-scale level, that will be processed by the system.
  • The system find the number plate position into picture, discarding the boundary elements such as car, road, people, billboards, etc...
  • The number plate image, so extracted, is transformed into a monochrome format, using a process of binarization with dynamic tresholding;
  • Each character of the plate is recognized using a neural network classifier, specifically trained on this type of shape;
  • The recognized string, undergoes a process of verify using a vector of pattern allowed;
  • The result string, extracted whit a confidence interval, and the picture recognized is send to the application software;
  • This last can verify in the presence of a list of the number of plate and decides whether to perform an action such as open a bar or a gate, operate a traffic light, print a ticket ...

The performace are excellent, although the procedure is complex: the system takes less than 5 seconds to reconize the plate with an accuracy that exceeds 95% of exact matches
