New camera "performs exceptionally in multi-lane environments", Adaptive insists

Adaptive Recognition has introduced its Vidar 5MP ANPR camera to the market.

The company says its new 5MP sensor means the camera "performs exceptionally in multi-lane environments".

It identifies number plates, make and model, dangerous goods signs and is designed for high-speed traffic, with built-in hardware and software-based triggers for widespread recognition.

The built-in recognition capacity is provided by Adaptive’s Carmen engine and the two 4-core built-in CPUs allow simultaneous high-FPS video streaming, ANPR, MMR, data streaming, and full remote access.

Vidar can optimise zoom and focus settings based on the telemetry report of the on-board gyroscope, accelerometer and laser.

Adaptive says all models are "built for long-term external usage and perform well regardless of weather and other conditions".

The latest Smart 5MpHDx LT models boast two sensors, with the 5MP sensor providing 2432 x 2048 resolution at 30 FPS and an HDx sensor with 1440x1080 resolution at 15 FPS.

The practical benefit is "high-quality images for ANPR over a significantly wider field of view, making it ideal for multi-lane applications, with room for a more flexible set-up", the firm concludes.

    Marseille’s city authority has added the monitoring of a second tunnel to the existing network with a new approach towards video management. Measuring 1.5km in length, the double-deck Prado Sud tunnel extends Marseille’s existing 2.5km Prado Carénage tunnel towards the southern part of the city. While it was logical to use a common control room and to use the latest detection and monitoring systems in the new tunnel, it was deemed too disruptive and costly to completely upgrade the existing tunnel.

    E-con Systems has launched a 5MP monochrome USB 3.1 Gen 1 SuperSpeed Camera which it says captures images in visible and near-infrared regions. The See3CAM_CU55M camera includes a high level of signal to noise ratio – which, E-con says, guarantees a low noise in all conditions. E-con president Ashok Babu says: “With its low noise and excellent image quality, this will be an ideal camera for applications such as iris recognition, NIR imaging, driver monitoring and digital microscopy.” See3CAM_CU55

    Advances in vision technology are enhancing traffic surveillance and enforcement applications. Variable lighting conditions have long been a stumbling block for vision technology applications in the transport sector. With applications such as ANPR, the read-rate may vary between daylight and night and can be adversely affected by glare and low sun. Madrid, Spain-based Lector Vision had these considerations in mind when designing its Traffic Eye ANPR system, which combines off-the-shelf and custom hardware
