The Recognition Capabilities of the Carmen® ANPR/LPR Software Family on Rare License Plates

Due to the lack of a global standard regarding license plates, reading and recognizing plates with optical character recognition solutions have always been a challenge. Different alphabets, background colors, orientation, and the usage of special elements and symbols can be easily confused for alphanumeric characters complicate the task. But then there are some occasions when the plate looks so exotic that most assume they are not official.

In this short FREE handbook; we invite you on a virtual trip around the world and show you that these rare license plates exist or have existed, they are 100% valid, and they can be read and recognized by advanced ANPR/LPR technology.

By downloading this material, you get:

  • a list of some of the most obscure/exotic number plates we came across throughout the years
  • an explanation for why reading these plates was a challenge
  • an idea about what to pay attention to when coming across exotic license plates in your project.

Adaptive Recognition’s Carmen® ANPR/LPR software family, the technology with which we were able to accurately capture the data from all those exotic license plates, has been known as an industry leader for many years.
