License plate recognition technology has become increasingly popular in recent years due to the wide range of advantages it offers for various applications. Traffic management, smart parking, intelligent transport systems are some of the advantages it offers.

This installation is for the control of entrances/exits to a controlled parking area. The procedure is simple: when the car approaches the control point, the cameras recognize the vehicle from the license plate and the entrance gate opens. These are automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) systems, which increasingly incorporate new technologies in their operation.

ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) is defined as the technology that identifies a vehicle by means of the number plate it uses. By using cameras, the technology is able to scan a plate and forward the required action to the system that manages that particular entry. This provides the opportunity for streamlined vehicle access control and reduces the need for manpower reinforcement given the autonomous operation offered.

The technology has seen significant growth in recent years due to the range of benefits it offers in a number of different applications. Besides, these systems are among the most accurate and widely used computer vision solutions and the methods applied are constantly evolving to enhance the performance, accuracy and efficiency of the related software.

The use of ANPR systems is becoming even more popular as technology advances rapidly with the advent of artificial intelligence and machine and deep learning.

In some cases, such as at night, cameras may produce images where details are not visible. However, the license plates are always captured in such a way that the software can easily interpret them and convert them into the required format. The most advanced cameras support embedded recognition of license plates either through a built-in processing unit or through a cloud connection so that the captured images are forwarded to end-users with license plate data already attached to the data packet.

Clearly, a number of advantages arise. Most of the benefits of ANPR come from the automation of manual tasks and highly efficient space management. They are an important source of analytics, as the resulting data can be used for traffic analysis. This is particularly important for the operation of Intelligent Transport Systems, where data processing technologies are being adopted to improve the mobility of people and goods, manage demand, increase safety, reduce congestion and manage incidents efficiently.

The system offers flexibility as automated identification can be applied to a variety of applications. Also, with systems of this type helping to improve safety by providing a method for autonomous detection and monitoring of multiple vehicles.
