License Plate Recognition Software Integration Solution

A software firm has developed an Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR; a.k.a LPR; a.k.a. ANPR) application that can run on Samsung Techwin’s Open Platform WiseNetIII cameras and domes. The firm is Arteco, the Italian maker of Video Event Management software (VEMS). The company’s ALPR application has been developed for access control purposes, such as use in airports, sea ports, car parks, distribution centers, industrial parks, and critical infrastructure environments where there is a need for control of the movement of vehicles.

SECUR-ED ? Into the Breach

While safety addresses problems caused accidentally, security concerns those caused intentionally. As more people journey, both at home and across borders, and travel becomes intermodal by nature, keeping mass transport secure is proving a costly, time- and technology-consuming task. To help operators in European cities stay in control, FP7 project SECUR-ED has stepped into the breach.

New Cisco Systems Surveillance IP-Cameras Equipped for Heavy-Duty Analytics

Cisco Systems has launched new IP-cameras that boast the processing power to perform more complex video and audio analytics to support applications such as license-plate recognition and detection of gunshots and unattended objects. The video surveillance cameras —the 6500PD and 7530PD— include a digital signal processing (DSP) chip in addition to the core ARM processor found in standard cameras.

Google’s Latest Object Recognition Tech Can Spot Everything in Your Living Room

Automatic object recognition in images is currently tricky. Even if a computer has the help of smart algorithms and human assistants, it may not catch everything in a given scene. Google might change that soon, though; it just detailed a new detection system that can easily spot lots of objects in a scene, even if they’re partly obscured. The key is a neural network that can rapidly refine the criteria it’s looking for without requiring a lot of extra computing power.
