Below we have provided a basic instruction on how to configure license plate recognition functionality (provided by of AutoCode LPR module) in Intellect Enterprise VMS. You can find detailed description of recognition settings in AutoCode administrator's guide.


  1. Create a new AutoCode recognition module object on the Hardware tab.

  2. Select a Camera object (which will provide a video for LPR module to analyse) on the settings pane of the newly created object.

    Info

    When testing, you might probably select

    a

    Camera

    object

  4. Click on Recognition button to open Recognition settings window. 
  5. Specify a so-called "recognition zone", a zone in the image where the license plate detection will be done.

    Info

    The rest of the image (which is not included into the recognition zone) is ignored by the recognition engine. By default, if recognition zone is not specified, license plates are searched on the whole frame.

  6. Specify license plate sizes which will be taken into account while processing your image.
  7. Select Parking or Road license plate recognition mode.
  8. Set the Thread count parameter

  9. Specify maximum and minimum sizes of license plate images in the frame. You can do it either graphically or by inputting the exact values (in pixels).

    Info

    Maximum size of license plate's image. If the license plate image's size exceeds this value, the

system
  1. recognition engine will ignore this license plate.

    Minimum size of license plate's image. If the license plate image's size is less than this value, the

system
  1. recognition engine will ignore this license plate.

  2. Select either Parking or Road license plate recognition mode.

    Info

    Depending on selected mode, the recognition engine's advanced settings receive values which are optimized for specific traffic surveillance conditions (i.e. parking or road).

  3. Set the Thread count parameter.

    Info

    Number of system threads created/used for analysis of this video stream is an advanced setting of the recognition engine. You will find its detailed description in AutoCode administrator's guide. As a rule of thumb, you can assign it a value which equals a number of traffic lanes in the video.
