ANPR System: Overview

ANPR is the acronym for automatic number plate recognition. ANPR is an advanced technology that reads the vehicle registration number. ANPR system converts the text written on number plates into machine language and assists in generating data for vehicle location. The ANPR system utilizes optical technology for its functioning & is extremely accurate in capturing images of vehicles moving at high speed. Owing to growth in technology, certain technologically advanced ANPR systems function in no-lights situations as well.

ANPR systems are widely used by law enforcement agencies to track vehicles associated with criminal activities along with their use in traffic management. The global ANPR system market has seen a significant rise in the past few years because of the economic and technological development of various nations.
