Automatic Number Plate Recognition
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is an advanced technology that uses imaging and machine learning to detect, read, and store vehicle license plate information. It processes real-time data from cameras placed in key locations, automating tasks like traffic monitoring, access control, and toll collection. With high accuracy, even under challenging conditions, ANPR reduces manual effort, ensures precise data collection, and integrates easily with existing systems. Its scalability makes it suitable for a range of applications, from small parking lots to large-scale traffic management.
Value Proposition
- Enhanced Security: Real-time vehicle identification, stolen vehicle detection, and unauthorized access prevention.
- Operational Efficiency: Automated toll collection, parking management, and reduced labor costs.
- Improved Customer Experience: Streamlined access, reduced wait times, and convenient parking.
- Data-Driven Insights: Traffic pattern analysis, parking occupancy monitoring, and regulatory compliance.
- Cost Savings: Reduced labor costs and operational expenses.
- Fraud Prevention: Verification of vehicle authenticity and prevention of misuse.

ANPR: The Eyes of the Road
- The app is compatible with vari-focal IP cameras, eliminating the need for specialized ANPR cameras.
- Awiros' proprietary Bi-Directional LSTM based OCR engine, trained on hundreds of thousands of images, is utilized by the app to recognize all types of number plates.
- Under optimal conditions, the app achieves over 95% accuracy at the character level for standard (HSRP) number plates.
- A single camera can capture number plates of vehicles moving on both lanes of the road simultaneously.
- The app can be activated and deactivated on any camera in the network as required.
- When a number plate is recognized, a snapshot of it is also captured and saved.
- The Awiros event grid displays all detected number plates together, and individual instances of number plate detection can be viewed in a gallery.
- Real-time number plate detection can be utilized for vehicle identification at entry/exit points or for identifying vehicles that are breaking traffic rules.
- The application can be used alongside other camera applications, such as those for detecting speeding vehicles or vehicles in the wrong lane and can also be integrated into other security systems.

Viewing results generated by the App on the Awiros Grid
Awiros Grid offers a centralized view of events from all active applications, organized by application columns. Users can sort by severity or video source, filter alerts, and search for specific vehicles across multiple cameras, enabling efficient data analysis and tracking.
Resource Management
Awiros has a tightly integrated resource management module that manages the availability and uptime of resources in real-time. Resources include: all the processing terminals, cameras and video sources, registered objects and various deep-learning models. In case of any unavailability, Awiros can notify the user via email or an event notification.
