3VR Offers SmartAnalytic for Premium License Plate Recognition

  • Oct 08, 2010

3VR Security, Inc., the global leader in Intelligent Surveillance and Search, made its 3VR SmartAnalytic for Premium License Plate Recognition (LPR) available on Oct. 7.

The technology offers expanded support for international license plates, as well as the ability to read license plates moving at higher speeds on its intelligent surveillance and search platform.

“We’re constantly evolving our suite of video analytics to meet the needs of our expanding customer base, and the 3VR SmartAnalytic for Premium LPR is a prime example of that continuous development,” said Steve Russell, chairman, 3VR. “With this premium offering, we’re allowing customers in transportation, critical infrastructure and city environments to analyze license plates on cars moving at higher speeds and from more regions of the world – without the added expense of pricey, specialized cameras or complex support requirements. And, because it’s 3VR, we make the results instantly and easily searchable. ”

Built on 3VR’s best-in-class intelligent surveillance and search technology, the 3VR SmartAnalytic for Premium LPR provides the ability to read license plates from virtually any country without requiring the purchase of specialized cameras. And because all of the 3VR SmartAnalytics integrate seamlessly with other methods of structuring video, such as external data systems and facial recognition, users can search video on a vast array of parameters from a single interface.

Already in use at a top-three car rental agency, the 3VR SmartAnalytic for Premium LPR addresses security concerns by providing a reliable, truly searchable database of video associated with license plates. The use of 3VR’s LPR technology in high-traffic areas, such as ports, border crossings, parking complexes and busy cities, allows officials to implement license plate recognition that is accurate and simple to manage, yielding superior return on investment.

“With the 3VR SmartAnalytic for Premium LPR, we open the doors to searchable video regarding vehicle-related use cases in transportation, critical infrastructure and cities around the world,” said Al Shipp, CEO, 3VR. “As we grow our suite of 3VR SmartAnalytics, we continue to provide better options for customers to structure and search video, improving safety in the face of progressively more challenging security hazards.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
