Imagine a process where the input is a single image of a vehicle, and the output is digital license plate data (including country of origin, color and more).
ANPR Cloud makes it that easy: you submit your traffic images and immediately receive ready-to-use data for your application in JSON format.
It's a result of 30 years software engineering and inventive AI development – made accessible in the cloud, for your traffic project. Speed, accuracy and reliability are crucial factors when it comes to vehicle identification. Get all the details about those aspects and a tehnical overview about our service here.
Imagine a process where the input is an image of a vehicle and the output is digital license plate data (including country of origin, color and more). It’s that easy. Your application submits traffic images and immediately receives ready-to-use data. All you need to do is register with our cloud and the system furnishes your system with a token. Via the token, you shall receive port and host information for submitting images.
... automatically updated, in the cloud.
Like the letters and numbers on plates from the United Kingdom, USA, Australia and many European countries like France, Spain, Slovakia, etc.
Those highly familiar with ANPR know that these characters are quite tricky to decipher. But not for Carmen®, the brains behind the ANPR Cloud.
Cyrillic, Chinese, Thai, Bangla and many more non-latin alphabets are also included in our library.
... it’s all of the data your project requires to make it a success.
Send traffic images from any type of camera to the cloud, which can accommodate virtually every type of hardware you may be using, regardless of brand or model.
Your system receives accurate vehicle identification in under 125 milliseconds. For decades, we have been refining the engine that powers the ANPR Cloud, enabling it to sustain operation even under those heavy traffic loads that come with mega highway projects.
ANPR Cloud not only provides an unmatched level of accuracy – up to 99%; its recognition capability even supports non-reflective plates, distorted images and traffic photos taken in low light, at acute angles, or obscured by shadows, successfully overcoming challenges that other vendors cannot.
Obtaining optimal images from a traffic system is not always straightforward. You need a flexible service that manages even those images that are not as perfect as the wallpaper on your desktop.
The software is flexible enough to decipher small characters, that may come in handy if the system does not have a zoom view.
Contrast is key. No matter how overexposed an image is, if there is contrast between the plate characters and their background, the ANPR engine will be able to decipher it accurately.
Vehicles captured from an angle will result in distorted plate images. Its characters, however, can still be deciphered by the engine.
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.
Bad weather or improper camera settings can easily result in dark images – but they won't hinder OCR performance.
When some parts of a character are covered by rain or snow, the clever AI in our system can still figure out the characters.
No data is stored in the cloud. Your data are used only for the recognition process, temporarily stored in the Amazon web server’s ultra-encrypted storage before being entirely deleted. Both, images submitted to the cloud and the data sent back to your system, are secured with SSL encryption. All data are managed according to GDPR.
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.
What makes our service easy to use is that it does not require any classic integration skills whatsoever. That means no special expertise is needed: with intermediate, general IT skills, anybody can perform the setup. That means you need to know how to use REST API and understand the JSON format. It’s as easy as copy-pasting a code line instead of getting caught up in complex programming.
For testing, we recommend subscribing to our free service, which gives you 200 transactions completely free of charge. Click here to register.
