Automatic Number Plate Recognition Camera

2 posts in this topic

Hi there

Does anyone have any experience or advice on how to integrate an ANPR Camera into a PLC control system?  We are currently upgrading an Allen Bradley SLC500 to a CompactLogix system and our client would like the facility to read lorry number plates into the control system to allow automatic unloading of vehicles.  I've scoured the internet with no success.  Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Steve

don't know about ready systems but this should be very straight forward for any (semi-decent) vision system, pretty much all of them should handle character recognition. 

this is much easier than tracking fast moving vehicles on a highway. challenges like motion blur etc can be eliminated with faster capture. low resolution can be solved by zooming into area that each truck/trailer must pass. There is still problem with possible variety of license plate formats so even if use score to identify culprits and tweak your program.
