Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a technology that uses cameras and software to automatically read vehicle license plates. When a vehicle passes a camera, the system captures an image, detects the plate, and extracts the characters using optical character recognition (OCR). This information is then processed to identify the vehicle, which can be used for various purposes such as law enforcement, toll collection, or parking management. ANPR systems operate quickly and accurately, often in real-time, enabling efficient monitoring and management of vehicle movements without human intervention.
