ANPR

ANPR is therefore the underlying technology used to find a vehicle license/number plate and it, in turn, supplies this information to a next stage of computer processing through which the information can be interpreted, stored or matched to create an ANPR based application.

Most members of the public will be aware that ANPR is used by many police forces to track down criminal behaviour and is also seen on many UK Motorways as a method of detecting speeding through average speed calculation. However, ANPR is used in a variety of other ways to support the security and safety of the public as well as supporting efficiencies in the way we interact with transportation and vehicle based infrastructure.
