German company 7912 Covisys develops a range of high-performance machine vision for many industries, including automotive, using cutting edge HTML5 technologies like WebRTC for video streaming and WebSockets for control of its smart cameras and devices.

Its CarID vehicle licence plate detection and recognition system can be used to identify vehicles accessing public car parks and to control vehicle input and output flow in restricted areas.

For vehicle tracking and traffic monitoring, CarTrack counts traffic flow, providing a warning in the event of congestion, accidents or wrong-way driving. A combination of CarID and CarTrack is in development for vehicle identification and speed measurement between two points.

Covisys’ CarVision stereo vision system provides real-time video tracking of the road and the environment, including other vehicles, and analyses them to generate warning and control signals that are processed by the vehicle control unit.

    Q-Free’s Marco Sinnema looks at how the commoditisation of high-quality vision-based solutions is widening their application. Machine vision technology’s entry into the ITS/traffic management sector has followed a classic top-down path. This is unsurprising given the extremely demanding performance criteria which are the standard in its market of origin, manufacturing processing. Very high image qualities combined with frame rates often in the hundreds per second range resulted in vision systems with capabi

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c

    New enforcement equipment is coming onto the market apace, as Colin Sowman discovers. If there is one word that epitomises the current trend in enforcement technology then that word is consolidation: multi-function cameras, miniaturisation and combining radar and visual detection methods. One example is Turkish company Ekin Technology’s recently introduced Micro Plate is claimed to be the smallest licence plate recognition device. In addition to logging licence plate data, the system records speed, date, ti
