registreringsskyltläsning

Registreringsskyltläsning, often referred to as ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) or LPR (License Plate Recognition), is a technology used to automatically identify and read license plates from images or video. This system typically employs optical character recognition (OCR) to extract the alphanumeric characters from the license plate.

The process begins with an image capture device, such as a camera, which takes a picture of the vehicle. Specialized software then analyzes this image, first locating the license plate and then segmenting the individual characters. OCR technology is applied to these characters to convert them into machine-readable text. Advanced systems can account for variations in lighting, angle, and plate condition.

Registreringsskyltläsning has a wide range of applications. It is commonly used by law enforcement for traffic monitoring, identifying stolen vehicles, and enforcing parking regulations. In transportation, it facilitates automated toll collection and traffic flow management. Commercial entities also utilize it for access control to parking lots and secure areas. The technology plays a role in improving efficiency and security across various sectors. Privacy concerns are often raised regarding the collection and use of this data.
