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#.

    Jenoptik’s Uwe Urban looks at the advantages of ‘sensor fusion’ for the ITS sector. When considering the ideal sensing and monitoring system to enable the ITS sector to deliver improvements in mobility and road safety, for general policing security and border protection, we have to think beyond radar-base systems or laser scanners. What is needed today are solutions for detecting and tracking vehicles while recording evidence to deacide if any action is necessary. There is no sole sensor capable of

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a
