7918 Vision Components' Carrida software engine is a powerful OEM Library, which is easy to integrate into existing security and surveillance applications, including access control, toll control and traffic analysis. The high-performance, hardware-independent software tool assures reliable high speed recognition of vehicle number plates.

With a typical processing time of 30ms and a recognition accuracy of more than 96 per cent, the ALPR/ANPR library precisely and reliably identifies all number plates, even if dirty, damaged or skewed. The software can be used throughout the world and recognises international number plates with with more than 90 per cent accuracy, even in changing lighting conditions. Two-line vehicle plates are also recognised without any problem.

CARRIDA is suitable for use with Windows- or Linux-based embedded systems and reads all common still image and video formats. An API enables integration into applications via the programming languages C/C++, .NET, Borland Delphi, Python, or C#.

    Machine vision techniques hold the potential to solve a multitude of challenges facing the transportation sector Optical Character Recognition (OCR), the base technology for number plate recognition, has been in industrial use for more than three decades. It is a prime example of how, instead of having to start from scratch, the transportation sector can leverage and adapt the machine vision expertise already used in industry in order to provide robust solutions with new capabilities. “The real val
