LPR up close

October 2005 Surveillance

Vision Catcher has announced the introduction of its new licence plate recognition (LPR) system. Appian allows a high recognition rate of more than 97% at speeds of up to 200 km/h (not that you should be driving at that speed)!

The LPR comes with multiple reads per second over a multitude of lanes with accurate identification of vehicles and number plates in all weather conditions, 24 hours a day.

Appian can also provide car park management, estate management and journey time analysis. Applications range from access control to surveillance and anti-terrorism to traffic flow monitoring and regulation. Triggers are automatically 'in picture' configuration and the system is set up for all South African plates. In recent local tests where more than 1000 different cars are in use, the LPR system provided 100% identification on differing provincial plates at a rate of more than three vehicles per second.

Appian LPR has proven itself overseas as a leading solution and Vision Catcher has recently run extensive tests locally, which have been successful and have resulted in the company winning a major order for the supply of Appian on a national basis in South Africa.
