Solar-powered ANPR

PIPS Technology has launched SpikeletSP, a solar-powered ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) camera, designed to be powered from a single solar panel for an unlimited period of time. The device is a fully integrated number plate recognition unit incorporating the camera(s), illuminator, data and image processing within a single sealed enclosure. Wireless IP connectivity over GPRS, EDGE or 3G can be provided by fitting an optional modem, making SpikeletSP truly wireless without the need for power or co

    No-one should expect the enabling qualities of machine vision to come free of charge but Jason Barnes finds there is still much that ITS stakeholders can do to help reduce costs. After many years of application in high-end solutions for the enforcement and tolling sectors, machine vision is gaining traction in more general areas of traffic management. Nevertheless, those OEMs producing transport-oriented solutions which incorporate machine vision and looking to increase the technology’s share of the ITS mar
