Main benefits
Results in the blink of an eye
Your system receives accurate vehicle identification in under 125 milliseconds. The engine behind ANPR Cloud is powerful enough to sustain operation in all circumstances, including the extreme traffic load of large scale highway projects.
Extraordinary recognition rates worldwide
ANPR Cloud boasts an accuracy level of up to 99%. The engine successfully deals with non-reflective plates, distorted images and traffic photos taken in low light. It also handles acute angles, shadows, and other visibility-reducing factors.
Suboptimal images: challenge accepted
In an ideal world your traffic system will only provide optimal images. In reality, many of the captured images will be distorted, dark, or otherwise compromised in quality. This means that you need a flexible service that handles suboptimal images with ease.
Too small plates
The software is flexible enough to decipher small characters. This can be particularly important for systems that do not have a zoom view.
over-exposure
Contrast is key. No matter how overexposed an image is, if there is some contrast between the characters and the background, the ANPR engine will be able to decipher it accurately.
Distorted plates
Vehicles captured from an angle will result in distorted plate images. Its characters, however, can still be deciphered by the engine.
slightly blurred characters
You can always increase shutter speed to avoid blurred images, but what if you have no control over the camera? If the human eye can make it out, our ANPR Cloud can too.
Low light images
Bad weather or improper camera settings can easily result in dark images – but they won't hinder OCR performance.
images taken in bad weather
The AI in our system reads characters even when they are partly covered by rain or snow.
Frequently Asked Questions
I have data security concerns. How is the data managed?
No data is stored in the cloud. It is only used for the recognition process, during which it is temporarily stored on the Amazon web server’s ultra-encrypted storage. After that, it is entirely deleted. The submitted images and the returned data are secured with SSL encryption. All data are managed according to GDPR.
Some software solutions start charging money when their trial session expires. Can you confirm that my enterprise will not be charged?
Yes, our free subscription does not require any payment information. Once you use up all 200 of your free submission requests, you have to wait until the beginning of the next month, when you will be granted another 200 transactions.
We do not have experience in integrating an ANPR or vehicle identification software. How complicated is it? Will we be able to do it?
Our service does not require any classic integration skills whatsoever. Anyone with intermediate, general IT skills can perform the setup. All they need to know is how to use REST API and understand the JSON format. It’s as easy as copy-pasting a code line.
How can I test the system?
