ANPR (Automatic Number-Plate Recognition) technology accurately reads vehicle registration plates using optical character recognition, aiding in the detection and disruption of criminal activities. It provides law enforcement with real-time data by checking license plates against databases, making it effective in locating stolen vehicles and addressing organized crime. The process involves camera identification, image adjustment, and data comparison, significantly enhancing crime investigation efficiency.
The ANPR Technology
- 1. The ANPR technology Automatic number-plate Recognition
- 2. The ANPR technology is in popular usage now. This is an extremely accurate system that reads vehicle number plates through the Optical Character Recognition technology. ANPR is used to deter, detect, as well as disrupt criminal activities at regional, local and the national levels.
- 4. As a vehicle passes the ANPR camera, the registration number gets read as well as instantly checked against the records maintained of vehicles of interest. This aids in the detection of offences and makes it easy to locate stolen vehicles, solve cases of terrorism, tackle uninsured vehicle use as well as solve major organised crimes.
- 5. How useful is ANPR?
- 6. The Police force simply loves ANPR. They insist that the network aids detecting, deterring and disrupting ‘criminality’. This includes tackling the travelling criminals, the organised group crimes as well as terrorists. Here is an attempt to trace the complete process step by step.
- 7. • The camera identifies the number plate. This is usually done using an infrared beam reflecting off the number plate. • A software takes the number plate; it adjusts the contrast and the brightness and skews it so that the numbers are ‘straight on’. • The software picks out the numbers and passes the information to other requisite programmes. Standardisation of the typeface and number plate size has helped in developing the accuracy of the ANPR systems substantially.
- 8. Checking out on the ANPR data helps to ascertain whether the vehicle of a known criminal was present when the crime took place; this can speed up investigation dramatically.
