About VehiScan

VehiScan™ Summary VehiScan™ is art-of-state license plate recognition system that enables us to identify the vehicle by capturing and recognizing a moving vehicle’s number plate Transmits real-time time stamp of entry/exit to the database. Based on latest pattern recognition, image processing & artificial intelligence techniques along with built-in proprietary algorithms which can recognize the number plates in any language VehiScan™ automated information resource adds a new vital dimension to decision-making for Access control, Security and Traffic management personnel. VehiScan™ system can be easily integrated with any physical access control devices like boom barriers, sliding gates for seamless access.

High Accuracy Cont... Two tier Automatic Image Enhancement techniques to make SVM-based OCR run accurate and fast. Brightness and contrast enhancement To contend with a huge variety of lighting conditions, daytime, night-time, sunlight, backlight, headlights, and so on. Noise removal techniques to avoid OCR confusions. Slant and skew correction This gives the flexibility to the camera to be kept away from the line of vehicle movement. Handles upto 35 degree of horizontal skew or vertical rotation.
