Traffic imaging system from JAI

The Viscam 1000 developed by vehicle imaging systems and components manufacturer JAI is a high resolution all-in-one imaging system suitable for video tolling, tolling enforcement, congestion charging, red light and speed enforcement, and a wide range of other ITS applications. The system utilises a JAI-developed five megapixel, 75 fps CMOS monochrome or colour camera with global shutter, paired with a custom-fitted lens providing crisp details across a wide field of view. Depending on plate styles,

The Viscam 1000 developed by vehicle imaging systems and components manufacturer 78 JAI is a high resolution all-in-one imaging system suitable for video tolling, tolling enforcement, congestion charging, red light and speed enforcement, and a wide range of other ITS applications.

The system utilises a JAI-developed five megapixel, 75 fps CMOS monochrome or colour camera with global shutter, paired with a custom-fitted lens providing crisp details across a wide field of view.

Depending on plate styles, a single Viscam 1000 system provides sufficient pixel resolution (2560 x 2048) to produce readable plate images across multiple traffic lanes, enabling the system to be used for free-flow tolling schemes (and law enforcement applications where vehicles may be changing lanes as they pass through the camera’s field of view.

Featuring a compact weatherproof enclosure, the system is easy to integrate with existing in-road loops or laser triggers and incorporates a built-in video triggering system featuring advanced algorithms to trigger the camera based on changes within the field of view.

    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
