6. INTRODUCTION
A vehicle registration plate is a metal or plastic plate attached to a
motor vehicle or trailer for official identification purposes. The
registration identifier is a numeric or alphanumeric code that
uniquely identifies the vehicle within the issuing region’s database.
7. INTRODUCTION
Eight types of license plates are used in Pakistan. Each province
and territory issues its own number plate; the federal government
issues number plates for foreign diplomats and vehicles owned by the
military, police and federal departments (red for foreign
diplomats and green for the federal government.)Sindh’s number plates
are yellow with black letters and numbers for private
vehicles and Black number plates with white letters for commercial
vehicles; Islamabad, NWFP, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Balochistan
and Northern Areas have white number plates with black letters and
numbers
8. The number plates also have the province or territory’s name at the
bottom. In Punjab however, number plates can be of any colour the
vehicle owner chooses, but the first 2 letters represent the city the
vehicle is registered in.
The same all over Punjab and has a sign and
’Punjab’ written on it, while the white part
has the number of the vehicle.
For example:
• RIZ 3725, is a vehicle registered in
• RIW1329, is a vehicle registered in
Rawalpindi, Punjab.
9. MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF INFORMATION
SYSTEM
LICENSE PLATE CAPTURE CAMERA
License plate capture cameras are a specialized form of CCTV camera
that has built in software that helps to identify and capture license
plates on still or moving vehicles. The intelligent traffic modes built
into these cameras allows the camera to compensate for speed,
weather, and headlight issues which all make it challenging to
capture a usable video that identifies license plates
10. AIM
• To Reduce Crime and the Fear of Crime
• Reduce Burglaries
• Reduce Vehicle Crime
• Reduce shop theft
• Reduce damage and graffiti
• Reduce motorcycle / traffic related nuisance
11. OBJECTIVES
• ANPR – capitalising on what you already know
13. STRATEGY
• Work with Partner Agencies at National, Regional and Local Level to
Share Assets and Data, avoid Duplication and enhance Operational
Effectiveness
• Proactively maintain National support and momentum for ANPR
within the Police Service, partner agencies and Government
• Working with the ANPR industry, continue to develop and exploit
Technology to support ANPR activities
• Promote the better collection, use and weeding of vehicle
intelligence to support ANPR activity, including utilization of
appropriate databases from other agencies
14. LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION (LPR) SYSTEM
CCTV Camera Pros license plate recognition (LPR) system, provides
high-resolution video monitoring and recording. Our License Plate
Recognition (LPR) system is an effective video surveillance and
parking lot monitoring solution. Many parking lots have a high
security risk rating. It is difficult for security personnel to monitor
isolated areas or levels of large lots. Most lots need an effective
digital surveillance systems to provide live monitoring and
continuous recording. These video surveillance systems provides
protection and reassurance to customers and employees.
15. LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION (LPR) SYSTEM
The license plate capture system activates the LPR recognition
process in two ways.
TWO WAYS PROCESS LPR RECOGNITION
The first is via software video motion detection, which detects
vehicles passing through the camera and illumination zone.
The second is by input / output activation, which triggers recognition
and recording upon I/O activation. The system supports both camera
overview and picture-in-picture modes with ease of monitoring
16. WHY WE NEED TWO CAMERAS FOR TRAFFIC
SURVEILLANCE?
• The monochrome camera produces high-contrast license plate images
characterized by unmatched clarity.
• Simultaneously, a second camera captures color overview images of
vehicles for additional video evidence.
17. LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION SOFTWARE
• The Geovision-LPR license plate recognition software features:
• High recognition rate
• High recognition speed: < 0.2 second
• Supports up to 8 I/O Trigger or 4 Motion Detection lanes
• Support image up to 720 x 480 (NTSC) providing higher accuracy
• Integrate with GV-series DVR capture cards
• Vehicle counter feature tracks number of vehicles
• Camera overview for vehicle or driver
18. LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION SOFTWARE
The GeoVision GV-LPR license plate recognition software is an
effective video security and parking / traffic monitoring solution. To
provide security or allow access to customers and employees, parking
lots can integrate this high efficiency digital surveillance systems
with license plate recognition to enhance lots security and
surveillance efficiency. GV-LPR is used with GeoVision
Surveillance and License Plate Capture Cameras
19. LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION SOFTWARE
LPR (License Plate Recognition) is an image-processing technology
used to identify vehicles by their license plates. This technology is
used in various security and traffic applications, such as gated access-
control system. The GV-LPR license plate recognition system
provides high-resolution video monitoring and recording.
20. LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION SOFTWARE
The system uses illumination (such as Infrared) and a license plate
capture camera to take the image of the front or rear of the vehicle,
then the GV-LPR license plate recognition software processes
analyzes the images and extracts the plate information. This data is
used for enforcement, data collection, and can be used to open a gate
if the car is authorized or keep a time record on the entry or exit for
automatic payment calculations.
21. LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION SOFTWARE
The LPR system significant advantage is that the system can keep an
image record of the vehicle which is useful in order to fight crime
and fraud. An additional camera can focus on the driver face and
save the image for identification reasons.
23. SYSTEM COMPONENTS & HOW THEY WORK
A typical LPI/R system is comprised of a video image-acquisition
subsystem, a CPU for image processing and control, a hardware- or
software-based character recognition engine, and a storage or
transmission subsystem for electronically recording plate Contents
and data such as date ,time and location

31. HARDWARE
At the front end of any ANPR system is the imaging hardware which
captures the image of the license plates. The initial image capture
forms a critically important part of the ANPR system which, often
determines the overall performance.
License plate capture is typically performed by specialized cameras
designed specifically for the task.
32. HARDWARE
Factors which pose difficulty for license plate imaging cameras
include speed of the vehicles being recorded, varying ambient
lighting conditions, headlight glare and harsh environmental
conditions. Most dedicated license plate capture cameras will
incorporate infrared illumination in order to solve the problems of
lighting and plate reflectivity.
33. USE OF ANPR SYSTEMS
• Section control, to measure average vehicle speed over longer
distances.
• Border crossings
• Filling stationsto log when a motorist drives away without paying for
their fuel.
• Traffic management systems, which determine traffic flow using the
time it takes vehicles to pass two ANPR sites
• Drive Through Customer Recognition, to automatically recognize
customers based on their license plate and offer them their last
selection, improving service to the customer.
• To assist visitor management systems in recognizing guest vehicles
